Paramjeet Singh And Another vs State Of Punjab And Another on 6 February, 2023
In Paramjeet Singh v. State of Punjab, 2022:PHHC:003983 [Para 8], CRM-M 50243
of 2021, this court observed,
While considering each bail pe on of the accused with a criminal
history, it throws an onerous responsibility upon the Courts to act
judiciously with reasonableness because arbitrariness is the an thesis
of law. The criminal history must be of cases where the accused was
convicted, including the suspended sentences and all pending First
Informa on Reports, wherein the bail pe oner stands arraigned as
an accused. In reckoning the number of cases as criminal history, the
prosecu ons resul ng in acqui4al or discharge, or when Courts
quashed the FIR; the prosecu on stands withdrawn, or prosecu on
filed a closure report; cannot be included. Although crime is to be
despised and not the criminal, yet for a recidivist, the contours of a
playing field are marshy, and graver the criminal history, slushier the
puddles.
