IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-21659-2011 Date of decision:25.07.2011. Manbir ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. R.A.Sheoran, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in a case registered vide FIR No.128 dated 23.12.2010, under Section 406, 409, 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC, Police Station Behal, District Bhiwani. The aforesaid FIR was got registered by the Deputy Commissioner, Bhiwani in respect of embezzlement of `20,03,582/- by certain government officials and Ex-Sarpanch etc. of the money allocated under the MNREGA Scheme. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is only a labourer who has been falsely implicated in this case. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner and perusing the record, I have found that the petitioner was in league with the Sarpanch who had deposited a sum of `28,000/- in the account of the petitioner as his labour charges for having worked under the aforesaid Scheme which was withdrawn by him and as per allegations, shared with the Sarpanch because the petitioner had never worked as a labourer under the aforesaid Scheme. In view thereof, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail as the custodial interrogation would only reveal as to how the government money has been syphoned off by all these persons/officials. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. July 25, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
