State of Haryana . . . . Respondent **** CORAM : HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE SURYA KANT **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? **** Present: Mr. Gorakh Nath, Advocate for the petitioner **** SURYA KANT J. (ORAL) (1). The petitioner seeks his enlargement on pre-arrest bail in the case FIR No.63 dated 05.05.2011 under Sections 420, 463 & 465 IPC; Section 7 of the Essential Commodities Act; and Sections 52/66 of the Copy Right Act registered at PS Uchana, District Jind. (2). The allegations in the FIR reveal nothing but the plight of the poor farmers and their victimization and exploitation at the hands of the parasites like the petitioner. (3). The allegations are that fake BT cotton seeds have been sold to the farmers at large scale and the chain of events ultimately points the needle of suspicion against the CRM No.M-16023 of 2011.doc - 2 - petitioner being the master mind behind procuring such fake seeds. How the fake seeds are prepared; from where the same originated; and/or how many farmers have been duped so far are the crucial questions which can be satisfactorily solved by the investigating agency only by subjecting the main accused like the petitioner to custodial interrogation. (4). Therefore, I find no case to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. (5). Dismissed. 24.05.2011 vishal shonkar (S u r y a K a n t) Judge
