Crl. Misc. No.M-1128 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Jagnam Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. H.S. Dhindsa, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. U.S. Dhaliwal, Addl. A. G., Punjab. AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.235 dated 05.09.2008 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC at P.S. Division No.5, Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that apart from the merits the petitioner was released on bail vide order Annexure P-3. As per the said order, the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail and it was also directed that the said order will ensure upto 15 days of presentation of challan and the petitioner will seek regular bail during that period. The petitioner did surrender and filed an application for regular bail but the learned trial Court expressed its disability to grant bail on the ground that it has no power under Section 467 IPC. In the circumstances, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Accordingly, the petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) February 03, 2011. JUDGE ashish
