Crl.M.No.M-28162 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-28162 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision:September 24, 2010 Chaman Lal Lamberdar .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Sandeep Majithia, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.50234 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-28162 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.5, dated 20.12.2008, under Sections 419, 420, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station NRI, Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that he being Lamberdar identified a fictitious person and the power of attorney was forged. It has come during investigation that there is a gang operating for grabbing the property of innocent persons. They are preparing forged power of attorneys, forged agreement to sell and forged sale deeds. Petitioner-accused in this case alongwith co-accused forged power of attorney dated 1.8.2008 in favour of Naresh Kumar. However, actually person in the name of Naresh Kumar does not exist. He is a fictitious Crl.M.No.M-28162 of 2010 (O&M) -2- person. Pursuance to the said forged power of attorney, Naresh Kumar sold the said plot of the complainant to one Parminder Kaur. A forged agreement to sell was also prepared. Hence, 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. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Chaman Lal Lamberdar for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 24.9.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
