State of Punjab .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.AS Dhaliwal,Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala,AAG Punjab. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Prayer under Section 438 Cr.PC is for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.36 dated 18.5.2010 under Sections 420/406 IPC. As per allegations in the FIR, the petitioner-travel agent is alleged to have taken a sum of Rs.1.25 lacs to send Boota Singh, husband of the complainant-Sukhwinder Kaur to Dubai and to get him employed there. It is further alleged that in Dubai, Boota Singh was not given the promised job of a Driver and rather was made to do menial work and that too without wages. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that petitioner is only a Travel Agent who only helped the husband of the complainant to go to Saudi Arabia and rest of the allegations are false. On the other hand, learned State counsel on instructions from HC Sham Singh states that the petitioner is not cooperating in the investigation and his custodial interrogation is necessary. Without commenting on the merits of the case, keeping in view the nature and gravity of the allegations, in my opinion, no case for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Dismissed. 30.9.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
