IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 6766 of 2009 Date of decision: March 10, 2009 Dharam Chand Shahi ….. Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ….. Respondents Present: Mr. R.S. Malhotra, Advocate for the petitioner. **** S.S. SARON, J. Heard counsel for the petitioner. This petition under Section 438 CrPC has been filed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case a FIR has been registered against him or is to be registered at Police Station Sadar Jalandhar Distt. Jalandhar. It is alleged that the petitioner is a neighbour of one Peter. Then said Peter had borrowed a sum of Rs.20,000/- from Paramjit Singh @ Pamma. Paramjit Singh @ Pamma was demanding the said amount back. On 6.2.2008 i.e. about a year back, Paramjit Singh @ Pamma along with Billa and Lehambar entered the house of Peter and hurled filthy abuses on him. The petitioner being a neighbour tried to settle the matter. It was also stated that Peter was not in a position to pay the amount. However, Paramjit Singh submitted a false application before in-charge Police Station Division No.2, Jalandhar on 6.2.2008. The Police called the petitioner and Peter and on inquiry, the application was found false. Thereafter, in the first week of January, 2009, the Police Post of Nangal Shama again raided the house of the petitioner at the behest of Paramjit Singh etc., but the petitioner was not available. The petitioner sent respectable persons to inquire about the matter but Police Post Nangal Shama did not disclose anything so as to help abovesaid Paramjit Singh. It is submitted that Kala relative of Paramjit Singh etc. is an active member of Akali Dal Badal which is the Crl. Misc. No. M-6766 of 2009 [2] ruling party in the State. Therefore, the Police is likely to involve the petitioner in some false case with a view to harass and torture him. After giving my thoughtful consideration to the matter, it may be noticed that the occurrence is of 6.2.2008 i.e. about a year back. Thereafter, it is in the first week of January 2009, the house of the petitioner is said to have been raided. However, after January, 2009, there is no allegation in the petition that the petitioner was ever summoned by the Police. There is also nothing to show that the petitioner had represented to higher police officials regarding the raid that was conducted in January, 2009. In the circumstances, the petition filed for seeking anticipatory bail is bereft of material particulars. There is no merit in this petition and the same is accordingly dismissed. (S.S. SARON) JUDGE March 10, 2009 amit
