Crl. Misc. No. M-21268 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-21268 of 2009 Date of Decision : August 25, 2009 Talwinder Singh and another .... Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Padam Kant Dwivedi, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : By this common order, I am disposing of two petitions bearing Crl. Misc. No. M-21268 of 2009 filed by Talwinder Singh and Harpinder Singh and Crl. Misc. No. M-21836 of 2009 filed by Bhajanpreet Singh – both for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.139 dated 17.06.2009, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Division No. 5, Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case files. According to prosecution version, petitioners Talwinder Singh Crl. Misc. No. M-21268 of 2009 2 and Harpinder Singh applied for loan to ING Vysya Bank Limited, Ludhiana with balance sheet and report of Chartered Accountant M/s Koul Vijh Associates. However, when these documents were sent to said Chartered Accountant for verification, it was found that documents have been forged and have not been signed by the said Chartered Accountant. Even the letter and address thereon was found forged and so also stamps. The loan papers were submitted through Bhajanpreet Singh (petitioner) and Vishal Chopra (non-petitioner). Learned counsel for petitioner Bhajanpreet Singh vehemently contended that documents have not been signed by the said petitioner. Learned counsel for the other petitioners submitted that the documents were submitted through agents Bhajanpreet Singh and Vishal Chopra and they might have forged the documents. It was also contended that original documents relating to house were also submitted with the loan application. On the other hand, learned State counsel contended that these very petitioners Talwinder Singh and Harpinder Singh had earlier applied for loan through same Vishal Chopra to another bank namely Deutshe Post Bank and the said loan papers were rejected on the same ground that the documents were forged. Inspite thereof, it was contended, that the petitioners applied to ING Vysya Bank Limited, Ludhiana on the basis of forged documents, through the same agents Vishal Chopra and Bhajanpreet Singh. Keeping in view the aforesaid, but without meaning to comment anything on merits, the petitioners do not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Both the petitions are accordingly dismissed.
