CRM-M No. 30087 of 2010 **** Mahender Dhopra vs. State of Punjab and others Present: Mr.J.S.Beniwal, Advocate for the petitioner. Dr. U. S. Dhaliwal, Addl. AG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 159 dated 03.07.2010, under Sections 406 and 420 IPC registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Patiala. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that fixed deposit in favour of the complainant could not be prepared because as per the bank rules the presence of the deposit holder is mandatory. However, the petitioner has brought a sum of ` 2 lacs in Court. In these circumstances I deem it appropriate to direct that the sum of ` 2 lacs be handed over to Inspector Jaswant Singh who is the investigating officer of this case, who shall deposit this amount with the Illaqa Magistrate. The said amount is handed over to Inspector Jaswant Singh. The Ilaqa Magistrate shall create a fixed deposit in his own name and this will ultimately be handed over to the party whoever is found entitled therefor. In the circumstances the interim order dated 08.11.2010 is made absolute subject to the conditions envisaged in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C., up to the filing of the challan, whereafter the petitioner would be required to seek regular bail. Petition stands disposed of. A copy of this order be given dasti to the learned Addl.AG CRM-M No. 30087 of 2010 -2- under the signatures of the Court Secretary.
