CRM-M No. 1593 of 2011 **** Balbir Singh vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Ramesh Chand Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gazi Mohammad, DAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 214 dated 24.12.2010, under Sections 420, 406 IPC registered at Police Station City Kapurthala. The allegation is that the petitioner had earlier entered into an agreement to sell with the complainant but later on sold the property in favour of a third person. Learned counsel for the petitioner has vehemently denied the execution of the agreement to sell. Learned DAG has not been able to deny the assertion that the present dispute is essentially a civil dispute. In these circumstances I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner who shall appear before the investigating officer on 31.03.2011 between 10.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. and on any such other dates on which his presence is required. The investigating officer shall release him on bail to his satisfaction in the vent of his appearance, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
