Crl. Misc. No. M-14596 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-14596 of 2011 Date of decision : 12.5.2011 Vishnu ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Gorav Kathuria, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre- arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 448, 454, 384, 380, 506 read with Section 34 IPC at Police Station City Ballabgarh, District Faridabad, vide FIR No.253 dated 22nd April, 2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner was not named in the FIR and he has been falsely implicated and is thus entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. FIR was lodged by Bhagat Singh who stated that certain persons living in front of their house, wanted to dispossess them from the same. They were demanding Rs.15.00 lacs, failing which the property would be grabbed. On the evening of 21st April, 2011, the locks of the house were broken and goods were stolen. The name of the petitioner figured in the supplementary statement of Bhagat Singh. According to the stand taken by the investigating agency before the Crl. Misc. No. M-14596 of 2011 2 court below, petitioner is a habitual offender and belongs to a Gang who forcibly take possession of the houses and dispossess legitimate owners. In view of the seriousness of allegations, I am of the considered view that the petitioner is not entitled to the concession of pre-arrest bail. On the other hand, his custodial interrogation may be necessary in order to take the investigation to its logical end. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed.
