Crl. Misc. No. M- 31101 of 2008 Rulda Singh vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr.D.S.Virk, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Malkeet Singh, Advocate, for the complainant. Mr.Aman Deep Singh Rai, AAG, Punjab **** At the time of issuance of notice of motion the following order has been passed by this Court on 27.11.2008:- “Balwinder Singh is BC, but has got a certificate of SC. Petitioner, being Sarpanch, is alleged to have connived with him in getting this certificate. Except for bald assertion, there is no material to show connivance. Notice of motion for 28.1.2009. In the meantime, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer subject to the conditions contained in Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. He will join investigation as and when required.” Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from SI Sukhwinder Singh, has submitted that the petitioner has joined investigation and is not required for further investigation. The fact that whether the certificate issued by the petitioner is genuine or not, Crl. Misc. No. M- 31101 of 2008 -2- would more appropriately be considered and gone into during trial. Accordingly, this petition is allowed and the order granting interim bail dated 27.11. 2008 is made absolute. (SABINA) January 28, 2009 JUDGE anita
