Crl. Misc. No.M-7583 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No.M-7583 of 2010 Date of Decision: 01.07.2010 Gurjinder Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Ms. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur Present:- Mr. Rahul Rampal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Vikas Malik, A.A.G., Haryana for the respondent-State. ***** 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) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C for grant of concession of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.23 dated 09.02.2010 under Sections 61(1)(a), 1/14 of Excise Act and under Section 420 IPC registered at Police Station Kallanwali, District Sirsa. It is contended that the petitioner is a poor man and is being made a soft target by influential owner of the liquor vend in order to escape the liability in the present matter and the false implication of the petitioner and influence of Major Singh (liquor vend owner) can be gauged from the improbable fact that Major Singh has stated in order to save his skin that he has issued a power of attorney to one Gurdarshan Singh son of Raghuraj to run the said liquor vend and Gurdarshan Singh had further deployed the petitioner to run the liquor vend in question. Learned counsel for the respondent-State, on instructions from Crl. Misc. No.M-7583 of 2010 2 SI Jagdish Chander, states that the petitioner has since joined the investigation. He has also pointed out that the original licence was in the name of Major Singh and criminal proceedings have been initiated in pursuance to the disclosure statement made against him. Proceedings have been duly initiated against Major Singh, the king pin and main accused. Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and the Order dated 15.03.2010 passed by this Court is made absolute. (NIRMALJIT KAUR) 01.07.2010 JUDGE gurpreet
