Criminal Misc. No. M-29042 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-29042 of 2009 Date of decision: November 23, 2009 Gurdev Kaur -Petitioner Versus State of Punjab -Respondent Coram Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. RK Dadwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J.(Oral) This is a petition for pre arrest bail in a case FIR No. 410 dated 22-11-2008 registered against the petitioner under Sections 420,506,120-B IPC at police station Kharar. Mr. Dadwal has argued that no role has been attributed to the petitioner in the entire transaction and the money was not handed over to the petitioner. Learned State counsel (on the instructions from ASI Gurjinder Singh, who is present in Court) submits that it is the petitioner, who executed sale deed in respect of 8.5 acres of land situated in the area of village Allapur Kalan. According to Mr. Gupta, petitioner has duped the complainant of Rs. 41,66,000/-. He further submits that though the petitioner has joined investigation, yet she has refused to co-operate with the investigating agency. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Criminal Misc. No. M-29042 of 2009 2 The allegation in the FIR is that the complainant entered into an agreement to purchase 8.5 acres of land, of which petitioner is the owner. Rs.41 lacs were handed over to the petitioner in lieu thereof. Pursuant to the agreement, although the sale deed was executed by the petitioner, but lateron it was found that she had already suffered a decree in respect of the same land in favour of one Sucha Singh way back in the year 1999. In view of the nature of allegations levelled in the FIR, I do not find it a fit case for grant of pre arrest bail to the petitioner. The petition being devoid of any merit is hereby dismissed.
