Crl. Misc. No.M-24598 of 2011 (O&M) Surjit Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Ms. G.K. Daulat, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.49 dated 30.07.2011 registered under Sections 420, 406 and 120-B IPC at Police Station Rureke Kalan Barnala. On 23.08.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has been implicated in the inquiry on the ground that he is the elder brother of the main accused Kewal Singh and is managing his land. She has further argued that the land is in possession of the children and wife of the main accused for the last 6-7 years and that the petitioner has no connection either with the land of the main accused or with him since the main accused has been staying in Italy for the last 13- 14 years and has also got remarried over there.” Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from ASI Wazir Mohd. has accepted these factual assertions. In the circumstances, without going into the merit of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on bail to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer. Crl. Misc. No.M-24598 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Ordered accordingly. Petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 30.09.2011 between 10 A.M. to 04 P.M and on any other date as and when his presence is required. On his appearance, the Investigating Officer would release him on bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
