In the High Court for the States of Pun jab and Haryana at Chandigarh. CRM-M 26731 of 2009 Decided on 24.9.2009. Ashok Kumar -- Petitioner vs. State of Haryana --Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.R.K.Dhiman,Advocate,for the petitioner Rakesh Kumar Jain, J: The petitioner has applied for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure,1973 (for short, Cr.P.C.), in case FIR No. 292 dated 24.8.2009, registered under Sections 420, 467,468, 471 IPC, at Police Station Farakpur, District Yamuna Nagar. Briefly stated the allegations contained in the FIR are that the complainant had given his identity card to Ashok Kumar (petitioner) for getting a mobile number. He was issued Mobile No.98137-66077 of Vodafone company on the said Identity Card. This number was taken by the complainant two years back but the petitioner got issued Mobile No.99921-52973 of Idea Company to some other person by affixing his photograph on the said Identity Card of the complainant. Before coming to this Court, the petitioner had applied for anticipatory bail which was dismissed by learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Yamuna Nagar at Jagadhri, vide his order dated 19.9.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner CRM-M 26731 of 2009 -2- has been falsely implicated in this case, whereas it has been observed by the learned Court below that “ it could not be disputed before me by Sh. Rai Singh, Advocate, that Mobile No.99921-52973 was sold by the petitioner by using copy of Ration Card of complainant Jawahar Lal as an identity proof. The fact remains that the complainant Jawahar Lal never purchased the aforesaid Mobile No.99921-52973”. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and keeping in view the nature of offence which is increasing day by day, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, the bail application is hereby dismissed. It is, however, clarified that nothing observed herein shall be taken to be an expression of opinion on the merits of the case. 24.9.2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
