Sir,
Sec 3 of damages to public property act is bailable or non bailable ?
Please go through the news-
ITANAGAR, Feb 10: Claiming to have found various misleading, defamatory and malicious news items in the local dailies against him, Labour Commissioner Ojing Darung today clarified various allegations leveled against him by All Arunachal Pradesh Workers’ Union.
Darung said the report that he was arrested at the direction of the Gauhati High Court was not based on facts and truth.
Section 3 of PDPP Act 1984 is a bailable offence, said Darung while producing a copy of the Gauhati High Court judgment issued on April 20th, 2012 against his anticipatory bail application under section 438 CrPC. However, he resented that “All Arunachal Pradesh Workers Union registered protest against his bail without rhyme and reasons.”
While referring to the Gauhati High Court order on August 6, 2012 (vide Crl. Petition No.09/2012), Darung further said “the Court quashed and set aside the earlier proceeding of Non-FIR case registered under section 3 of the Prevention to Damages of Public property Act -1984 against me and fresh direction was given to officer in-charge of Naharlagun Police Station to investigate and submit police report U/S 173 of Cr.PC.” However, no such police report was filed by the Police till date, he claimed. The Labour Commissioner further claimed that non-bailable warrant of arrest was issued against him “without any authority of law by the Chief Estate Officer cum Addl District Magistrate.” Darung said that he was ‘deliberately harassed at Naharlagun Police lock-up and defamed at the behest of All Arunachal Pradesh Workers’ Union by jumping all arrest warrant process as prescribed in Cr.PC 1973’.
Sir I have search much but can't find the case referred in this news of Arunanchal times. Please Guide and attach above mentioned judgment of Gauhati HC if any one have.
REGARDS
