Kataria, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. DAG Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in a case registered vide FIR No. 127 dated 02.06.2009 under Sections 406/409/120- B IPC at Police Station Firozpur Jhirka, Mewat. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that allegations levelled in the FIR are totally false. According to the counsel, the petitioner is merely a transporter and his responsibility is only to transport the wheat and rice. Learned counsel for the State has, however, submitted that the petitioner along with co-accused Shankar Lal (store keeper) misappropriated wheat and rice to the tune of 4431.17 quintals and 3773.52 quintals respectively. According to the counsel, the said wheat and rice were meant for mid day meal for children. I have heard counsel for the parties. Crl. Misc No. M-32618 of 2009 2 It is evident that allegation against the petitioner is that he misappropriated huge quantity of the rice and wheat meant for mid day meal of children studying in schools. In view of the nature of allegation, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. The petition is devoid of merit and is dismissed as such. 10.12.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
