During the couRs.of preliminary hearing, the following order was passed by this Court on May 22, 2014 :- “Learned counsel, inter alia, contended that petitioner has been falsely implicated by the complainant-Daya Chand in this case on account of previous enmity.
In fact, it is a case of version and cross version, in which, the members of petitioner's party has also received multiple injuries including grievous injuries.
Consequently, a criminal case was registered against the complainant and his other co-accused vide FIR No.111 dated 25.02.2014 (Annexure P-2) for commission of offences punishable under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 324, 506 and 326 IPC.
The argument is that the complainant has fabricated the injury and the medical board of doctors opined vide opinion dated 25.03.2014 that the alleged injury on the person of complainant is not possible by fire arm as claimed by him and it was declared simple in nature.
Therefore, no indicated offences are made out against the petitioner.
Moreover, the controveRs.involved in the instant petition is to be identical to the one raised and decided, by way of order dated 16.05.2014 in CRM-M No.13993 of 2014 (Annexure P-7).by this Court.
Heard.
Notice of motion be issued to the respondent, returnable for 08.07.2014.
Meanwhile, the petitioners are directed to join the investigation before the next date of hearing.
In the event of their arrest, the Arresting Officer would admit them to bail on their furnishing adequate bail and surety bonds in the sum of Rs.25,000/- to his satisfaction.”
.
5.
At the very outset, on instructions from HC Harpal Singh, learned State Counsel has acknowledged the relevant factual matrix and submitted that the petitioners have already joined the investigation.
They are no longer required for further interrogation, at this stage.
There is no history of their previous involvement in any other criminal case.
Even, since the prosecution has not yet submitted the final police report (challan) against the accused, so, the final conclusion of trial will naturally take a long time.
