IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-17624 of 2008 Date of Decision : 31.07.2008 Sham Singh ....Petitioner VERSUS State of Haryana ....Respondent Before: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal. Present:- Mr. Vikram Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajesh Bindal J. This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in FIR No. 139 dated 13.06.2008 registered under Section 420 of Indian Penal Code at Police Station Butana, District Karnal. The allegation against the petitioner is that he cheated the people giving assurance that he can get their money doubled. After the amount was handed over to the person pointed out by the petitioner in return three breif cases were returned which on opening were found to be containing currency notes of 50s and 100s on the upper portion whereas the rest of the portion was filled with stones and rough news papers. Another accused in the FIR Lapton Singh had filed Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-16284 of 2008 for grant of pre-arrest bail, however, the same was dismissed as withdrawn on July 14, 2008. Keeping in view the gravity of offence against the petitioner, I do not find this to be a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed. 31.07.2008 (Rajesh Bindal) sk/rekha Judge
