CRM-M-29319 of 2011 (O&M) - 1 - IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ***** CRM-M-29319 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision:26.09.2011 Paramjit Singh . . .Petitioner Versus State of Punjab . . . Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.G.S.Chahal, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J (ORAL) CRM No.52201 of 2011 Application is allowed as prayed for. CRM-M-29319 of 2011 This is a petition for pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.165 dated 01.09.2011 under Sections 419, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 & 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short ‘IPC’) at Police Station Tanda, District Hoshiarpur. The land of the absentee landlord Savitri, who is allegedly residing in England, is tried to be sold by one Kambo @ Kamla Rani by impersonating her and executed special power of attorney in favour of Kewal whose actual name is Lehmber Singh. The General Power of Attorney has been witnessed by Paramjit Singh @ Pamma (Petitioner herein). Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has identified the donor of the General Power of Attorney on the basis of Election Commission Identity Card on which the photograph of lady, who had appeared before him as Savitri, was also pasted. CRM-M-29319 of 2011 (O&M) - 2 - After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the view that the petitioner does not deserve concession of bail because the petitioner belongs to the Village Talla, Tehsil Tanda, District Hoshiarpur whereas Savitri belongs to Village Masidpal Kot, Tehsil Dasua, District Hoshiarpur which is altogether a different Village and the petitioner being lamberdar is supposed to know the person personally while attesting execution of the document and is not supposed to rely upon the Identity Card of the person for the purpose of being a witness. In view thereof, the allegation against the petitioner is found to be serious enough to decline the bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) SEPTEMBER 26, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
