M-No. 26769 of 2008 (O&M) Date of Decision : January 29, 2009 Baljit Singh alias Jagjit Singh .. Petitioner v. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM : Hon`ble Mr. Justice Pritam Pal Present : Shri A.S.Makkar, Advocate for Shri D.S.Pheruman, Advocate, for the petitioner. Shri N.S.Shekhawat, Advocate, for the complainant. PRITAM PAL, J . Petitioner has brought this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of bail in case, FIR No. 30 dated 1.4.2008 under sections 420, 408, 468, 467, 471, 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Division No. 2, Pathankot District Gurdaspur. At the outset of the hearing, learned counsel for the complainant has submitted that the petitioner had earlier filed a similar petition, bearing Criminal Misc. M- No. 21005 of 2008, before this Hon`ble Court, which was dismissed in default on 25.9.2008. However, this fact has been concealed by the petitioner, while filing this petition. In this case, the allegations against the petitioner are that he, Criminal Misc. M-No. 26769 of 2008 2 in connivance with the other co-accused, mis-appropriated a sum of more than Rs. 1.5 Crores of the complainant-company. This case was got registered by the complainant, who is Manager of the company. In this view of the matter, the petitioner is not entitled to the concession of anticipatory bail, as he has concealed the fact of approaching this Court earlier. Dismissed in limine.
