IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-15483 of 2008 Date of decision:- 9.7.2008 Angrej Singh and another ...Petitioners. Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Virender Verma, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Ajay Ghengas, AAG, Haryana. Mr. Shailender Kashyap, Advocate for the complainant. RAJESH BINDAL J. The allegations against the petitioners in the FIR are that the complainant met the petitioners outside the house of Rawel Singh who was living near their residence, on 1.5.2007. According to the allegation in the complaint, on the assurance of the petitioners the complainant met Rajiv Sharma alias Sukhchain Singh for sending him abroad and for that a sum of Rs. 1,00,000/- was also paid in the house of the petitioners on 25.5.2007. The passport was also handed over. Complainant was not sent abroad and for that reason present FIR was got recorded by the complainant on 6.8.2007. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that Rajiv Sharma is the person who was carrying on the business of sending the people abroad. He had cheated the petitioners as well and on that account with a view to refund the amount paid to him, he had handed over the possession of House no. 83, Phase-II, Jaggy Colony, Ambala City to petitioner No.1 and an affidavit to that effect was sworn on 9.4.2007. As the complainant Criminal Misc. No. M-15483 of 2008 -2- and other persons sought to grab the house, on 11.7.2007 a complaint was made to the police. Thereafter, a suit was also filed in which the complainant was also one of the defendants and as a counter blast to the same, the present FIR came to be recorded on 6.8.2007. Learned counsel for the respondents submitted that dispute about the possession of the house was settled on 12.7.2007 at police station in the presence of all the parties. As the petitioners did not have any document to claim ownership of the house, and the same was found to be vacant, a lock was put on that and the keys were kept with the Municipal Councillor of the area with the condition that whosoever will get the order of the Court to claim the possession of the property he will be handed over the keys of the house. The contention is that the petitioners had cheated the complainant and for that their custodial interrogation is required. Be that as it may, without opining on the merits of the controversy, the present petition is disposed of with a direction that pending trial the petitioners shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Ambala City.
