The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in a case registered against him for the offences under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 120-B, 353 and 186 IPC. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that in the case three trucks were apprehended. The petitioner is neither the owner of the truck nor the goods which were loaded therein. It is submitted that the petitioner is sought to be implicated because in the FIR name of one Mohan Singh is mentioned whereas the name of the petitioner is Manmohan Singh. Besides, it is submitted that the petitioner has joined investigation in consequence of the interim directions given by this Court on 8.3.2010. Leaned counsel for the State, on instructions from HC Manjit Singh, Police Station Ghanaur, District Patiala, has submitted that the petitioner has joined investigation and his custody is not necessary for the purposes of investigation. Cr. Misc. No.M-5789 of 2010 [2] After giving my thoughtful consideration to the matter, it may be noticed that the petitioner is neither the owner of the goods nor the vehicles that were apprehended and it appears that it is a case of mistaken identity. In consequence of the directions given by this Court, the petitioner has joined investigation. In the afore-noticed facts and circumstances the petitioner in the event of his arrest shall be admitted to bail on his furnishing personal bond and surety to the satisfaction of the arresting/investigating officer. The petitioner shall abide by the conditions of Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. The interim order shall enure till the filing of charge-report (challan) by the Police in terms of Section 173 Cr.P.C. The criminal miscellaneous petitions stands disposed of. March 30, 2010. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
