Crl. Misc. No. M-20917 of 2010 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-20917 of 2010 Date of Decision: July 26, 2010 Jagdev Singh …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. G.B.S. Gill, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The petitioner apprehends arrest in a case registered at the instance of Jasbir Singh alleging that the complainant was introduced by the petitioner to Manjit Singh Dhillon and Dr.Sudhir Verma. The said persons had promised the complainant that his son would be sent abroad and that they would secure a job for him on receipt of sum of Rs.3 lacs. It is contended by counsel for the petitioner that after the registration of FIR in 2008, an enquiry was conducted in which the Crl. Misc. No. M-20917 of 2010 [2] petitioner was found to be innocent and that the complainant has also furnished an affidavit in favour of the petitioner. The petitioner was summoned by the Court on May 4, 2010 for the first time raising an apprehension for arrest. A perusal of the order dated June 9, 2010 indicates that only summons have been issued against Jagdev Singh. The trial Court has not opted to issue non-bailable warrants against the petitioner. In view of said circumstances, this petition is disposed of being not maintainable as there does not appear to be any reasonable apprehension for the petitioner to be arrested. In case the petitioner is aggrieved by the order of the Court summoning him despite having not been challaned, it will be open to the petitioner to challenge the order dated May 4, 2010 and June 9, 2010 passed Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate. However, to safeguard the personal liberty of the petitioner, it is ordered that in case the trial Court, in any case order the arrest of the petitioner or to send him in judicial custody on appearance, the petitioner will be given a 7 days time before the implementation of any such order, to enable the petitioner to avail the legal remedy available to him in accordance with law.
