Crl.M.No.M-13358 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-13358 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: May 7, 2010 Chanderhans Nehra .....Petitioner v. State of Haryana ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.KDS Hooda, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.58, dated 29.6.2009, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Bahal, District Bhiwani. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. It came during investigation that petitioner-accused was posted as Manager in Haryana Gramin Bank, Village Behal. The grants were received in the bank for being disbursed to below poverty line families. Allegations are that loan was given to one Sube Singh, who had already expired on 10.6.2007 and that his thumb impression was forged. It also came during investigation that co-accused Raj Kumar Gupta, APO, DC office was arrested in this case and he made disclosure statement that he alongwith present petitioner got prepared the forged documents, files, and obtained bribe of Rs.2,90,000/-. Statement has also been made by co- accused Satyavir Singh that Rs.30,000/- were paid to the applicant as a bribe. Hence, in view of these facts it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner- accused. Rather his custodial interrogation is necessary for complete Crl.M.No.M-13358 of 2010 (O&M) -2- investigation of the case. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Chanderhans Nehra, for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed being devoid of any merit.8 7.5.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
