The contents of the FIR, as reproduced in para No.4 of the petition, read as under:- “Sir it is requested that I Ram Bhaj Goel s/o Tek Chand Goel r/o House No.250/5 Gandhi Nagar Jind, GPA holder as per register No.700/1 dated 13.2.2009. Jagbir Singh s/o Balram Singh r/o Sakna Bitna Panchkula. 2. Gurbax Singh s/o Maru Ram r/o Siyudi 3. Chander Shekhar s/o Surinder Jain r/o Ghatiwala all three in connivance with each other showed me a fictitious plot and got executed a sale deed. The sale deed that was Criminal Misc. No.M- 22221 of 2010 (O&M) -2- executed in our favour is of khewat No.56 Khatauni No.123 and khasra No.115 and plot of which possession was handed to us is khewat No.48 khatauni No.94 and Khasra No.106 that time we had constructed pillars on all four sides and about five months we constructed boundary wall and 1 room and filled the plot with sand and also constructed fixed main gate on it. On which we have spent 2.5/3 lacs, which we had bought four years back in which three lacs cash was given to Gurbax etc. and Rs. 60,000/- extra for sale deed, now three days back where we went to our plot then we saw that one wall was dismantled and some things were stolen. On the wall a mobile number was written regarding which we gave complaint in police station Pinjore and one to Superintendent of Police also. From the number we came to know that number belongs to P.K.Chugh, SHO Pinjore called both parties to police Station and from investigation it came out that plot of Mr.P.K.Chugh and sellers of the plot have committed big fraud with us because khewat khatauni No. of sale deed and possession is not matching with each other. After that being enquired from Tehsil and came to know that owner who had made the colony had left some land for lanes which was sold to me thus, which is totally wrong, I Criminal Misc. No.M- 22221 of 2010 (O&M) -3- incurred a loss of Rs.7,00,000/- and had to leave the plot after being insulted. Value of the plot today is of Rs.25,00,000/-. We came to know that Gurbax etc. are of business of committing fraud and there are other cases also registered against them and one FIR No.72 dated 27.3.2009 at P.S.Kalka against them, therefore, it is requested to your goodself that legal action be taken against these criminal persons and after registration of FIR investigation be done so that it may come out that who are all involved in this gang.” After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that the present petition deserves dismissal. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. The petitioner might be required for custodial interrogation. Hence, no ground for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE August 04, 2010 anita
