CRM No.M-28317 of 2011 (O & M) Dalbir Singh vs. The State of Punjab Present: Mr.H.S. Jaswal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Chauttala, AA.G., Punjab. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail in case bearing FIR No.176 dated 07.07.2011, under Sections 420 and 34 IPC and registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Batala, District Gurdaspur. On 16.09.2011, the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that for the land measuring 23 marlas the total money has been received by the complainant since that sale deed was made in January, 2008.” Learned AA.G., on instructions from ASI Santokh Singh is not in a position to deny that the sale deed had indeed been executed on January 09, 2008 with the endorsement that the entire money had been received. In view of the above, the benefit of this doubt would, in my considered opinion, go to the petitioner at this stage. Consequently, I allow this petition. Let the petitioner appear before the investigating officer on 07.10.2011 between 10.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. The investigating officer shall release him on bail to his satisfaction, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. (AJAY TEWARI) September 26, 2011 JUDGE Sukhpreet
