JUDGEMENT
NARESH KUMAR SANGHI, J. -
(1.) CHALLENGE in this petition is to the order dated 03.07.2013 passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Panchkula, whereby
the order dated 15.06.2013 passed by the learned Additional Chief
Judicial Magistrate, Panchkula, granting bail to the petitioner, in terms of
Section 167(2) Cr.P.C, was set aside and he was ordered to be taken into
custody.
(2.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 14.03.2013 in a case arising out of FIR No.59, dated
07.03.2013 for the offences punishable under Sections 148, 302, 323, 341 and 506 read with Section 149, IPC, registered at Police Station, Chandi Mandir, District Panchkula, and was remanded to judicial custody
on 15.03.2013. Thereafter on 14.06.2013, the petitioner moved an
application for grant of bail in terms of Section 167(2), Cr.P.C., at 8.45
a.m before the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Panchkula,
and the report from the concerned criminal Ahlmad was sought. It was
reported by the criminal Ahlmad that the charge -sheet (report under
Section 173, Cr.P.C.) was not presented till 08.45 a.m. However, the
charge -sheet was presented on 14.06.2013 at 09.30 a.m. The learned
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate after hearing the petitioner and the
Public Prosecutor granted bail to the petitioner. He further submits that
the said order passed by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate
was challenged by the State by way of Criminal Revision Petition and the
same was accepted and the order passed by the learned Chief Judicial
Magistrate was set aside without appreciating the facts and the law in
correct perspective. In support of his contentions, he has placed reliance
on a judgment of Hon'ble the Supreme Court in Sayed Mohd.Ahmed
Kazmi vs. State, GNCTD and others, 2012 (4) RCR(Criminal) 875.
Learned counsel for the State submits that by assigning cogent reasons, the learned Revisional Court had rightly set aside the
order passed by the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate,
Panchkula, and as such, no interference is called for by this Court. He
further submits that the charge -sheet (report under Section 173 Cr.P.C.)
was presented in court, before the petitioner was actually ordered to be
released on bail and as such, he had lost the right to be released on bail.
(3.) I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and with their able assistance gone through the material available on record.;
