(ORAL) The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of complainant-Roshni Devi alleging that the petitioner had taken a sum of ` 3 lacs from her and exploited her. I have gone through the report annexure P-8 filed by the petitioner against the complainant. Without expression of any opinion on Crl. Misc. No.M-3371 of 2010 [2] merits of the case it appears that the allegations constitute prima facie a civil liability. Without mentioning the details of the antecedents of the complainant which are reflected from various documents on the record that she being a dismissed SPO from Punjab Police in the habit of levelling false allegations against her colleagues and other persons to grab money; petitioner having joined investigation, he can be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail. Petition is allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioners he will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the following conditions:- i) that the petitioner will join investigation as and when required by the police; ii) that the petitioner will not tamper with the evidence or hamper the investigation in any manner; and iii) that the petitioner will not, in any manner, threaten the complainant or any other witness. Nothing said in this order will prejudice the rights of the complainant to effect recoveries, in accordance with law. In case any attempt is made by the petitioner to threaten the complainant or other witness, it will be open to the complainant to seek the cancellation of bail by filing an application before this Court.
