CRM M No.8053 of 2011 Inder Singh V/s State of Punjab and others Present: Mr.Gurnam Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Dr.U.S.Dhaliwal, Addl.A.G., Punjab. ***** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in a criminal case registered on the basis of the letter dated 12.08.2010 issued by the Government of India rejecting the freedom fighter case of the petitioner. The allegation against the petitioner is that he tried to obtain freedom fighter pension on the basis of fictitious record. On 16.03.2011, the following contention was noticed: - “Learned counsel has argued that in the face of the positive recommendation of the State Government that it had satisfied itself about the genuineness of his claim, the subsequent rejection of the claim by the Central Government would not justify the arrest of the petitioner and the petitioner is ready to join the investigation. Learned Additional Advocate General, Punjab on instructions from ASI Sunil Dutt has stated that the petitioner has joined the investigation. I find that the petitioner is an old man and admittedly no further recovery is to be made. In these circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. CRM M No.8053 of 2011 -2- In the event of arrest of the petitioner he shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the SHO/Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. 12.05.2011 [AJAY TEWARI] shamsher JUDGE
