Criminal Misc. No. M-7621 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-7621 of 2011 Date of decision : 11.03.2011 Jarnail Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. P.P.S. Duggall, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) The petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 12 dated 06.02.2011 under Sections 420/120-B IPC at Police Station Guru har Sahai, District Ferozepur. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. According to him, there is no evidence on record to connect the petitioner with the alleged crime. He is thus entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. The allegation against the petitioner is that he in connivance with co-accused Kartar Singh, Milkha Singh and Surat Singh took `2,75,000/- from the complainants (Balwinder Singh and Satnam Singh) promising them that their wards would be recruited in the Punjab police. However, when the complainants came to know that they had been Criminal Misc. No. M-7621 of 2011 2 defrauded, they made a complainant to the police. It appears that prior to registration of FIR, an inquiry was conducted by DSP, Sub Division Jalalabad. Thereafter, the instant case under Section 420/120B IPC was registered. In view of nature of allegations levelled against the petitioner, I am of the considered view that he is not entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. March 11, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
