CRM-M No. 29693 of 2011 **** Baldev Singh Chauhan v. State of Punjab Present: Mr. R.S.Bajaj, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sumeet Abrol, AAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for regular bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 265 dated 06.12.2010, under Sections 406/420/120-B IPC registered at Police Station Rajpura, Distt. Patiala. On 25.11.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Counsel for the petitioner has laid particular emphasis o the fact that the alleged partnership deed, Annexure P-1, (on the basis of which the petitioner is sought to be implicated) does not even bear the signatures of the petitioner.” Apart from that learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the co-accused to whom the money was allegedly given has been released on bail. Learned AAG, on instructions from HC Gurwaryam Singh, states that even though the document Annexure P-1 does not seem to bear the signatures of the petitioner, yet there is some other material that tends to show that the petitioner was in fact a partner. He has, however, accepted the fact that the co-accused has been released on bail and the assertion that the petitioner has been in custody for the last more than six months. In this view of the matter, without going into the merits of the case, this petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
