Criminal Misc.-M No. 29003 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 29003 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 27.9.2011 Alishan .. Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. S. K. Panwar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. G. S. Chahal, Addl. Advocate General, Haryana. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner in the present case was not arrested from the spot. He is owner of the truck, which was allegedly carrying 12 buffaloes and two male calves which, according to the police, were being carried to U.P. for slaughtering. All the offences except under Section 420 IPC are bailable. From a reading of the FIR, no case under that section is made out. Even otherwise, the driver of the truck was arrested from the spot and has been released on regular bail. Learned counsel for the State submitted that the truck was being plied with a fake number plate bearing registration No. HR-58-7969, whereas number of the truck was UA-07N-8635. The number plates carrying the aforesaid registration number were found in the truck. Considering the fact that effort was for cheating, the petitioner does not deserve concession of pre-arrest bail. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the fact that the petitioner was not accompanying the truck when the alleged offence took place, in my opinion, the petitioner is not required to be taken into custody for interrogation. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer on 8.10.2011 at 10.00 AM for joining investigation. Criminal Misc.-M No. 29003 of 2011 [2] In case of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigating Officer. He shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. He shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 27.9.2011 mk
