GURDEEP SINGH Vs. STATE OF PUNJAB

JUDGEMENT

(1.) THIS is a petition filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking pre -arrest bail in a case registered against the Petitioner vide FIR No. 19 dated 11.02.2011 under Sections 447, 379 and 506 IPC at Police Station Sadar, Ludhiana.

(2.) LEARNED Counsel for the Petitioner contends that Petitioner is not named in the FIR. Only a person with the name of Dr. Deepak @ Billa was mentioned in the FIR and the investigating agency is trying to falsely implicate the Petitioner by connecting him with the commission of crime on the basis of statement recorded under Section 161 Code of Criminal Procedure. According to him, statement recorded under Section 161 Code of Criminal Procedure would have no evidentiary value and Petitioner is thus entitled to pre -arrest bail.

(3.) I have heard learned Counsel for the parties.
