RESPONDENT CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Vinod Khunger, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * Petitioner Baldev Singh Aulakh, apprehending his arrest in a non-bailable offence in case FIR No. 61 dated 7.12.2006 registered at Police Station Vigilance Bureau, Ferozepur, under Sections 409/420/467/471/477- A/120-B IPC and Section 13 (i) (c) read with Section 13 (2) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, has filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for the grant of anticipatory bail. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the contents of the FIR as well as the order dated 9.1.2007, passed by Additional Sessions Judge, Ferozepur, whereby bail application of the petitioner has been dismissed. In the FIR, it has been alleged that when the petitioner was posted as Assistant Manager in the Ferozepur Central Co-operative Bank Limited, Ferozepur, he sanctioned 42 loans of the amount of Rs. 14,59,000/- against the Government instructions, after taking bribe and the petitioner himself had taken loan from two agencies. Keeping in view the nature of allegations against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant him anticipatory bail. Dismissed. January 18, 2007 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
