IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-22681-2011 (O&M) Date of decision:01.08.2011. Jai Bhagwan ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Naveen Singh Parmar, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. (ORAL) This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in a case registered vide FIR No.134 dated 19.04.2011, under Sections 420, 467, 468 IPC at Police Station City, Gohana, District Sonepat. The allegation against the petitioner is that by way of sale deed No.3509 dated 01.10.2007, land of Mange Ram son of Jug Lal had been sold to Anand Singh son of Inder Singh for a sum of `15,12,000/-. It is pertinent to mention here that the sale consideration was not paid before the Sub Registrar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was only the witness to the sale deed and not the beneficiary. However, from the record, I have found that Mange (the alleged seller) renounced the world and had died in the year 1974, whereas the sale deed has been executed on 01.10.2007 by producing some imposter. Learned counsel for the petitioner has also admitted that the petitioner is a resident of the same village of the deceased Mange Ram. Therefore, it is not accepted that the petitioner had no idea as to who is being produced before the Sub Registrar for the purpose of registration of sale deed. It appears that the petitioner, in connivance with other attesting witnesses and the purchaser, have usurped the property of a person who had died in the year 1974. Prima facie, it is a case of custodial interrogation, therefore, the present petition is hereby dismissed. August 01, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
