State (Union Territory, Chandigarh) …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.S.K. Garg Narwana, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.D.D. Sharma, Advocate for the respondent. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The petitioner is alleged to have got a general power of attorney of Kamaljit Kaur executed in his name regarding the land measuring 2 bighas 7 biswas and sold the said land alongwith some other land on the basis of fictitious power of attorney of Kamaljit Kaur and other power of attorneys in favour of ATS Infrastructure. The petitioner has been in custody since January 2, 2010. The documents placed on record indicate Crl. Misc. No.M-15569 of 2010 [2] that he has been suffering from Coronary Artery disease. Challan has already been presented. Trial is likely to take a long time. No doubt, in view of the social status enjoyed by the petitioner, the offence alleged against him is a serious one but the circumstances do not warrant that he should be kept in custody during the entire period of trial as a measure of punishment. Co-accused of the petitioner have been granted the concession of pre-arrest bail/ bail. The petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds for a sum of Rs.1 lac with two similar sureties to the satisfaction of CJM, Chandigarh with a specific condition that he will not leave India without the permission of the Court and that he will also not commit the similar offence of which he is accused of.
