IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 20814 of 2010(O&M) Date of Decision: August 25, 2010. Ram Parkash ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Punjab ...... RESPONDENT(s) Present: Mr. S.P.S.Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl.A.G., Punjab. Mr. Vivek Bashamboo, Advocate for the complainant. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) This is an application for regular bail filed under Section 439 of Cr.P.C. in FIR No.40 dated 05.05.2010, under Sections 420/465/468/471/120-B IPC, Police Station Cantt. Ferozepur, District Ferozepur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the petitioner that complainant has not denied his signatures on the agreement rather plea is that signatures of complainant were obtained on blank paper by the petitioner and CRM No.M-20814 of 2010 later on the same was converted into agreement to sell. However, the said agreement also contains signatures of witnesses. It is further contended that dispute is purely civil in nature and that civil suit has already been filed by the present petitioner against the complainant. It is further contended that petitioner has been continuing in custody since 26.05.2010 and that case is triable by magistrate and that trial is not likely to be concluded in near future as challan has not been filed so far. All these facts have not been disputed by learned counsel for the State. However, learned counsel for the complainant has opposed the bail application. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, keeping in view these facts and without expressing any opinion on merits, the instant application for regular bail filed on behalf of Ram Parkash, is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of CJM/Duty Magistrate, Ferozepur. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) August 25, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
