IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-4365 of 2010 Date of decision : 16.3.2010 Paramjeet @ Paramdeep Singh …. Petitioner Versus State of Punjab …. Respondent Present: Mr. Manoj Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. **** S.S. SARON, J. Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks regular bail in a case registered against him for the offences under Sections 420, 461, 467, 468, 471, 506 and 120-B Indian Penal Code (“IPC” – for short). The petitioner is in custody since 22.12.2009. The challan in the case has not been filed. The FIR in the case has been registered on the basis of affidavit submitted by Bhagwant Singh who has levelled allegations primarily against Rajvinder Singh and Manjit Singh. It has been alleged by the complainant that the said Rajvinder Singh and Manjit Singh had entered into an agreement with the complainant for the sale of land and Rajvinder Singh had received the payment from the complainant in cash. The cheque amount had been got released by Manjit Singh. The petitioner is stated to have issued a receipt of Rs.1 lac which was received by Rajvinder Singh. Crl. Misc. No. M-4365 of 2010 [2] Rajvinder Singh has been granted the concession of bail vide order dated 18.1.2010 (Annexure P1) passed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, SAS Nagar, Mohali. The prosecution is to establish its case on the basis of evidence. The trial in the case is likely to take time. The allegation of the petitioner primarily is that he gave a receipt of Rs.1 lac which was received by his co-accused Rajvinder Singh who has admittedly been granted the concession of bail. In the circumstances, the Crl. Misc. petition is allowed and the petitioner on his furnishing personal bond and surety to the satisfaction of the learned Ilaqa Magistrate shall be admitted to bail. (S.S. SARON) JUDGE March 16, 2010 amit
