CRM-M No. 2006 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M No. 2006 of 2011 Date of Decision: January 21, 2011 Vinod Jain ...... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ..... Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Ajay Tewari Present: Mr. Anant Kataria, Advocate for the petitioner. **** 1. Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? Ajay Tewari, J. This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in a case bearing FIR No. 440 dated 01.12.2010, under Sections 406, 409, 420,120-B IPC registered at Police Station Sadar Thanesar, Kurukshetra. The allegation is that the petitioner along with his son and one Satish Kumar has illegally misappropriated 22,000 quintals of paddy. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner himself was also doing the work of milling and it is specifically mentioned in the FIR that as regards paddy allotted to the petitioner the same was returned by him. Further argues that the allegation that the petitioner had conspired with his son is not based on any evidence or proof. Further states CRM-M No. 2006 of 2011 2 that actually the son of the petitioner has eloped with some lady and the petitioner has also lodged an FIR against him. Further argues that the petitioner has no concern with the firm of the son. From a perusal of the FIR the assertions seem to be rather thin. The FIR records that despite many notices the petitioner never appeared. The FIR further records that the paddy was removed to the premises of the petitioner allegedly on the apprehension of there being a flood-like situation and it is from there that the paddy has disappeared. In the circumstances I find no infirmity in the order of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, Kurukshetra declining bail and agreeing with the same dismiss this petition.
