IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No.-M-18387 of 2009 (O&M) Date of Decision: 13.7.2009. Gurnam Singh Hans ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Sukhpal Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJESH BINDAL, J. **** Prayer in the present petition is for pre-arrest bail in FIR No. 80, dated 21.5.2001 registered against the petitioner under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC at P.S. Sidhwan Bet, Tehsil Jagraon, District Ludhiana. The petitioner is living in Canada. It was submitted that after having come to know about the FIR against the petitioner he has already deposited the amount which was allegedly embezzled by the petitioner/other employee of the Bank. Considering the fact that the FIR is more than eight years old and the petitioner is living in Canada, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of pre- arrest bail. Dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) 13.7.2009 JUDGE Reema
