IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. -M No. 27306 of 2011 (O&M) Mahinder .. Petitioner versus State of Haryana .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. U. K. Agnihotri, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner who is accused in FIR No. 578 dated 2.8.2011, registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC at Police Station Civil Lines Karnal. The allegations in the FIR got registered by the Estate Officer, HUDA, Karnal are that the petitioner was a witness on a power of attorney, allegedly executed by Mool Chand Aggarwal pertaining to his plot on 4.3.2011, whereas the executant, had died on 9.7.1997. Considering the seriousness of the allegations against the petitioner where he was witness to a power of attorney executed by some person, other than the executant, who had already expired, I do not find this to be a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. ( Rajesh Bindal ) 8.9.2011 Judge vs
