Crl. Misc. No. M- 13597 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 13597 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 11, 2010 Gian Chand ........Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ........Respondent ****** CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. G.S. Jaswal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Rajni Gupta, Addl. A.G. Punjab. Mr. M.S. Dhillon, Advocate, for the complainant. SABINA, J. Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in FIR No.131 dated 20.9.2008, under Sections 420/120-B of Indian Penal Code, Police Station Dera Bassi, District- SAS Nagar (Mohali). After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that the instant petition deserves dismissal. Earlier application filed by the petitioner seeking anticipatory bail was dismissed as withdrawn on 20.5.2009. The second petition has been filed by the petitioner pleading that now there was change in circumstances as civil suit filed by the complainant has since been dismissed as he had failed to establish his ownership. Learned State counsel, on the other hand, has submitted that the Crl. Misc. No. M- 13597 of 2010 (O&M) 2 suit of the complainant for declaration and permanent injunction was dismissed as the complainant had failed to lead evidence in support of his case. Appeal against the judgment and decree dated 5.11.2009 passed by Additional Civil Judge, Senior Division, Dera Bassi is pending and the parties have been directed to maintain the status quo qua possession over the property in dispute. Learned State counsel has further submitted that the petitioner is involved in another cases also including a case under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985. In these circumstances, no ground for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Dismissed. (SABINA) August 11, 2010 JUDGE Anand
