Crl. Misc. No.M-23455 of 2011 (O&M) Lachhman Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Balbir Singh Sewak, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rajinder Mathur, A.A.G., Punjab. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.80 dated 01.07.2011 registered under Sections 420, 120-B IPC at Police Station Fatehgarh Sahib, District Fatehgarh Sahib. On 05.08.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Relies upon order dated 01.08.2011 passed in CRM-M No.21783 of 2011 to allege that similarly situated co-accused has been granted the concession of bail and states that at best the present is a civil dispute since the petitioner traces his title from sale deed 22.05.1947 (Annexure P-1).” Learned Assistant Advocate General on instructions from S.I. Vinod Kumar has accepted the factual assertion with regard to the bail of the co-accused and the sale deed dated 22.05.1947 but has argued that the sale deed which was in respect of forest land could not pass any title to the petitioner. Crl. Misc. No.M-23455 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Be that as it may, in the above mentioned circumstances, this Court is of the considered opinion that the petitioner deserves the concession of anticipatory bail. Ordered accordingly. Petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 26.08.2011 between 10 A.M. to 04 P.M and on any other date as and when his presence is required. On his appearance, the Investigating Officer would release him on bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
