Cr.M.P.(M) No. 1233 of 2010 18.11.2010 Present: Mr. Ajay Sharma, counsel for the petitioner. Mr. Ramesh Thakur, Asstt. A.G. for the respondent-State. Heard and gone through the record. Petitioner holds a driving licence, bearing No. 110313, dated 16.6.1998, which is fake. The licence was renewed for the first time in 2001 and then in the year 2004. The two renewals are not forged, but genuine. When the licence was resubmitted for third renewal in the year 2008, concerned official found that the original licence was fake inasmuch as its number did not tally with the any of the numbers of licences, which were issued in the year 1998. Report was lodged with the police. Inquiry was conducted by one Sub Inspector, who submitted report to the effect that one Bachhiter Singh, an employee in the office of SDM, appeared to have issued the forged licence in the year 1998. Counsel representing the petitioner submits that the petitioner had applied for licence and given the application to above named Bachhiter Singh. According to him, the petitioner himself got the licence renewed twice from SDM, Kangra and that when it was not being renewed for the third time in the year 2008, he himself brought it to the notice of SDM that his licence was not being renewed. Cr.M.P.(M) No. 1233 of 2010 Looking to the facts and the circumstances of the case, as also the fact that no recovery etc. has to be effected, I do not think custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required. Hence, the present application is allowed and order of interim bail dated 16.11.2010 is made absolute. The order is subject to the conditions that the petitioner shall join investigation as, when and where called upon to do so, shall not temper with the prosecution evidence, nor shall he try to win over, influence or browbeat the witnesses. Application is disposed of accordingly. Copy Dasti. (Surjit Singh), J. November 18, 2010, (vs)
