CRM-M No. 29536 of 2011 **** Inderpal Singh v. State of Punjab Present: Mr.Jaspreet Singh , Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Sumeet Abrol, AAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for regular bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 135 dated 15.04.2011, under Sections 409, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC registered at Police Station City Barnala. On 03.10.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that earlier the petitioner had filed anticipatory bail which was permitted to be withdrawn by order dated 17.08.2011 with a clarification that the petitioner would surrender before the Illaqa Magistrate and it was directed that the bail application would be decided within five days and now by order dated 13.09.2011 his application for regular bail has been rejected. On merits he has argued that the alleged scam took place in the year 2005-2010 and the main accused was Cashier Davinder Kumar. The only material against the petitioner was that he had got encased one cheque of Rs. 4 lacs and further he had been transferred out in August, 2005. As per learned counsel the petitioner has now been in custody since 25.08.2011.” Learned AAG, however, states that the petitioner was arrested on 01.09.2011 and not on 25.08.2011. Be that as it may, without going into the merits of the case and keeping in view the period of incarceration suffered by the petitioner, this petition is allowed. Bail to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Sangrur. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE December 12, 2011 sunita
