Mr. Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. `Mr. BS Jaswal, Advocate, for the complainant. Rajan Gupta, J.(Oral) Mr. Sharma submits that though the petitioner was merely a guarantor in the entire transaction yet he has repaid the loan amount of Rs.3,34,000/- to the Bank till now. According to counsel, the amount of loan sanctioned was Rs.3,15,000/-. Along with interest, he has deposited the amount of Rs.3,34,000/- and rest of the amount is in respect of the loan for the trolley. Mr. Sharma submits that the petitioner undertakes to join the investigation as & when summoned by the Investigating Officer. Learned State counsel does not dispute the fact that the petitioner has repaid the aforesaid amount to the Bank. He, however, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner claims himself to be a guarantor and has already repaid the amount of Rs.3,34,000/- and the case appears to be based on documentary evidence, the instant petition for Crl. Misc. No. M-7983 of 2009 2 anticipatory bail is allowed, subject to the conditions as envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr. P.C. The Investigating Officer shall, however, be at liberty to summon the petitioner as and when necessary and may ask him to surrender his passport. [Rajan Gupta] Judge July 17, 2009. 'ask'
