Punjab. **** 1.Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers 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? NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (Oral) The present petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for the grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.220 dated 23.11.2009 registered under Sections 420/467/468/471 IPC at Police Station Division No.6, Industrial Area, Ludhiana. As per the allegation, which have come to light after investigation, the petitioner was the owner of the property in question and he mortgaged the said property with Punjab National Bank in the year 1995. It is further alleged that he sold the said property in the year 2004 to one Reshma without clearing the loan amount. Reshma further sold it to Karama Wali in the year 2007. Then Karma Wali further sold it to the present complainant in the year 2008. Thus, the name of the present petitioner in the FIR is not relevant because the same was to be reflected only after the investigation. He is the main accused. The property was mortgaged by him. Consequently, the present petitioner is still liable to pay Crl. M. No.14620-M of 2010 -2- back the amount of loan taken from the bank. This amount is yet to be effected from him. On the last date of hearing, learned counsel for the petitioner sought time to seek instructions with respect to the payment of loan amount to the Bank and the interim order was ordered to be continued. Today, the case has been called out twice since morning but no one is present on behalf of the petitioner. Accordingly, concession of anticipatory bail cannot be extended to the petitioner. Dismissed. 24.9.2010 ( NIRMALJIT KAUR ) rajeev JUDGE
