CRM No. M-21048 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-21048 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 04.08.2009 Avtar Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Pawan Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition seeking pre-arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner, under Sections 406 and 420 IPC, at Police Station Amloh, District Ropar, vide FIR No.5 dated 5th January, 2009. The allegation in the FIR is that the petitioner, who is a travel agent, has duped the complainant as he had taken money with the promise to send certain persons abroad. Neither anybody was sent abroad nor money was returned. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has been falsely implicated. There is no proof that any money was handed over to the petitioner. Thus, he deserves the concession of anticipatory bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. CRM No. M-21048 of 2009 2 Petitioner's name figures in the FIR and specific allegations have been levelled against him. There is nothing to show at this stage that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. In view of the fact that the petitioner is alleged to have defrauded the complainant of money, I find no ground to extend the concession of anticipatory bail. There is no merit in this petition. The same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE August 04, 2009 'rajpal'
