' Petitioners seek grant of pre-arrest bail in case F.I.R. No,403 dated 21-11-2001 registered under sections 148/337-H(ii)/440/447/506/ 149, P.P.C. At Police Station Kanganpur, District Kasur.
2. The bare perusal of the F.I.R. Shows that there is a long-standing civil litigation going on between the parties. The abovesaid F.I.R. Was got registered after a delay of six days for which no plausible explanation has been given. There is nothing on record to show that the weapons recovered from the petitioners were in fact used during the occurrence as alleged in the F.I.R. The offence allegedly committed by the petitioners does not fall within the prohibitory clause of section 497, Cr.P.C. In the circumstances the mala fide of the police/complainant is very much apparent from .The record of this case which brings the case of the petitioners within the ambit of further inquiry entitling them to the concession of bail. Accordingly the instant petition is allowed and the ad interim pre-arrest bail already granted to the petitioner vide order dated 11-1-2002, stands- confirmed. The petitioners shall submit fresh bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Deputy Registrar (Judi.) of this Court.
Ad-interim pre-arrest .
