CRM-M No.1726 of 2011 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M No.1726 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 04.11.2011 Ram Gopal Gupta and another ...... Petitioners v. State of Haryana and another ...... Respondents *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. U.K. Agnihotri, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Man Mohan Sikka, D.A.G., Haryana. Mr. G.S. Attariwala, Advocate for the respondent No.2. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in Criminal complaint No.250/3 of 2010 dated 04.10.2010 registered under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471, 506 & 120-B IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that initially an FIR was lodged with respect to the same allegations and when the same was cancelled this private complaint was lodged. In these circumstances, CRM-M No.1726 of 2011 (O&M) -2- learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that the petitioner No.1 would of course face the trial but at this stage his custody should not be insisted upon. Learned counsel for the respondent No.2 has argued that the bifurcation done by the petitioner No.1 is apparent from the record. Be that as it may, in my considered opinion, if the petitioner No.1 is found guilty of an offence he would be liable to undergo whatever punishment is imposed upon him but at present his custody in this private complaint would serve no purpose. Consequently, this petition is allowed. The interim order dated 19.01.2011 is confirmed subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. ( AJAY TEWARI ) November 04, 2011 JUDGE ashish
