Crl.M.No.M-26350 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-26350 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: September 9, 2010 Lakshmi Narain Gupta .....Petitioner v. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.J.N.Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.292, dated 25.8.2009, under Sections 406, 420 IPC, registered at Police Station Narnaul City, Narnaul. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that he alongwith his son and co-accused Vishal Gupta used to run Sidhi Vinayak Computer Centre for providing computer training at Shivaji Nagar, Narnaul. They charged Rs.18,000/- from each candidate. The present complaint has been filed by many such candidates. There are allegations that it was represented by petitioner-accused that the centre is a recognised one and that diploma of some recognised Institute would be issued. However, when the date came for examination, the centre was locked and hence the complainants have been cheated. They contacted the petitioner at his residence and however, he told them that neither the money would be returned nor they would be pursued for any examination, as it was not their responsibility. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Rather, his custodial interrogation is necessary. Crl.M.No.M-26350 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Lakshmi Narain Gupta for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 9.9.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
