Criminal Misc. No. M-19981 of 2011 (1) IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-19981 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 22.7.2011 Ram Parkash @ Binder .. Petitioner vs State of Punjab .. Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Vipul Dharmani, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J. S. Sandhu, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in FIR No. 67, dated 11.6.2011, registered under Sections 419, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC, at Police Station City S. B. S. Nagar (Nawan Shahar). Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has not been named in the FIR. Sale-deed pertaining to the land owned by Kidar Nath, Shiv Devi, Om Parkash, and Joginder Pal was executed by certain persons by impersonating as vendors. Out of the aforesaid four vendors, Kidar Nath and Om Parkash had already expired. Persons who had impersonated were duly identified by the Panch and the Numberdar. Name of the petitioner has figured in the disclosure statement of co-accused Hari Dev, who impersonated as Kidar Nath. The petitioner otherwise, is not the beneficiary in the entire transaction. Learned counsel for the State submitted that in the disclosure statement of Hari Dev, it had come that the petitioner had arranged the persons, who had impersonated. Beyond it, there is nothing on record with the police as on date against the petitioner. Criminal Misc. No. M-19981 of 2011 (2) After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I do not find that merely on the statement of one accused, the petitioner should be taken in custody for investigation once no role as such is attributed to him in the FIR. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to join investigation and appear before the Investigating Officer on 29.7.2011 at 10.00 AM and thereafter whenever summoned. However, in case of arrest, he shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer. He shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. 22.7.2011 (Rajesh Bindal ) vs Judge
