Crl.M.No.M-29854 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-29854 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision:October 8, 2010 Sarvjit Singh .....Petitioner v. The State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Gorakh Nath, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.53391 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-29854 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.87, dated 20.9.2010, under Sections 406, 420 and 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Raipur Rani, District Panchkula, Haryana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the impugned order passed by learned Sessions Judge, Panchkula, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that he is employed as Manager, Primary Agricultural Cooperative Society, Mauli. Complainant visited the said office on 9.6.2009 for taking loan. He was made to thumb mark on some papers by the petitioner-accused. Payment of Rs.60,000/- was shown in his favour, whereas in fact no such payment was made. The matter was got enquired into by Assistant Registrar, Cooperative Society Naraingarh and it was found that petitioner-accused had shown fictitious payment on 9.6.2009 and 10.6.2009 in the account of complainant Crl.M.No.M-29854 of 2010 (O&M) -2- and hence committed an irregularity and caused financial loss to the society as well as to the bank. It came during investigation that petitioner-accused cheated the complainant of an amount of Rs.27,090/-. In view of these facts, custodial interrogation of the petitioner- accused is necessary. It is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Sarvjit Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 8.10.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
