In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh ...... Criminal Misc. No.M-11354 of 2010 ..... Date of decision:5.7.2010 Arvinder Singh .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent .... Present: Mr. Pankaj Bali, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. V.P.S. Sidhu, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab for the respondent-State. ..... S.S. Saron, J. Heard learned counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks regular bail in a case registered against him for the offences as detailed in the head note of the petition. The FIR in the case has been registered on the application of Gurjinder Pal Singh, Sub-Registrar Central, Ludhiana. According to the complainant one sale deed was presented on 6.5.2009 before the complainant who is Sub-Registrar by one Jaswant Singh in favour of Aniwas Khosla. The said sale deed related to an area of 115 square gauge situated in Abadi Guru Teg Bahadur Nagar, Tehsil and District Ludhiana for an amount of Rs.7 Lacs. Stamp papers worth Rs.49,000/- were enclosed with the said sale deed. At the time of checking, it came to his notice that the stamp papers were coloured photo copies and were not original stamp papers. The Sub-Registrar/complainant became suspicious that it may be possible that some similar sale deeds may also have been written on Cr. Misc. No.M-11354 of 2010 [2] coloured photo copies of stamp papers. An inspection of pending sale deeds in the office which were there for registration was carried out. After inspection some more sale deeds were found to have been scribed on colour photo copies the details of which are mentioned in the FIR. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner used to supply the stamp papers to accused Sukhjinder Singh alias Sukha who used to further supply the same to stamp vender Ravinder Pal Singh and Bhupinder Kaur alias Jyoti. Sukhjinder Singh alias Sukha was earlier declared a proclaimed offender and later he had surrendered. He is still in custody. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing for him that the name of the petitioner in the FIR figures only on the basis of disclosure statement of Sukhjinder Singh alias Sukha otherwise he is not named in the FIR; besides, on the investigations that were carried out, nothing has been recovered from the petitioner. The prosecution is to establish its case by leading evidence. The trial in the case is likely to take time. The petitioner is in custody since 15.3.2010. The challan in the case has been filed. The case is based primarily on documentary evidence and, therefore, it is unlikely that the petitioner would tamper with the same. In the facts and circumstances, the petitioner on his furnishing personal bond and surety to the satisfaction of the learned trial Court shall be admitted to bail. The criminal miscellaneous petition stands disposed of. July 5, 2010. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
