CRM-M No. 12917 of 2011 **** Jagtar Singh vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr.L.M.Gulati, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gazi Mohammad, DAG. Punjab. Mr.B.D.Sharma, Advocate for the complainant. **** In this petition on 09.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “ This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No. 278 dated 01.07.2010, under Sections 417, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner was just a broker and had no knowledge about the fact that the seller was not the owner and that by order dated 14.01.2011 the co-accused Major Singh, who was property agent was granted the concession of anticipatory bail.” Learned counsel for the complainant and learned DAG, on instructions from SI Bhupinder Singh, have not denied this factual assertion. It is, however, strange to note that main accused Nirmal Singh has not been arrested despite the fact that his petition for anticipatory bail has been dismissed on two occasions. Learned DAG has assured the court that the police will leave no stone unturned in arresting the main accused. In the circumstances I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In case he is arrested, he CRM-M No. 12917 of 2011 -2- shall be released on bail by the investigating officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE May 26, 2011 sunita
