Crl.Misc.No.M-3608 of 2010 (O&M) IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-3608 of 2010 (O&M). Decided on: February 15, 2010. Jaswant Singh alias Jasbir Singh and others .. Petitioners VERSUS State of Haryana and another .. Respondents * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.Parminder Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioners have been summoned in a complaint under Sections 406, 420, 468, 207, and 120-B IPC, on the allegations that the petitioners despite being owner of 171 kanals 7 marlas of land had sold 187 kanals 1 marla i.e. in excess of their share. It is alleged that the share of complainant who is brother of Balwinder Singh and Gulzar Singh, has been sold. Counsel for the petitioners inform that as per his information, bailable warrants have been issued against the petitioners for 17.03.2010. Since the bailable warrants have been issued, the apprehension of arrest seems to be ill-founded but in view of the fact . . . 1 Crl.Misc.No.M-3608 of 2010 (O&M) that Additional Sessions Judge, Karnal, has dismissed the application for pre-arrest bail, the apprehension seem to be vindicated in the peculiar circumstances of this case. Counsel for the petitioners has contended that petitioner Nos.1, 2 & 4, had sold their shares in 2003, and petitioner No.3, had sold his share in 1997. It has been informed that no civil suit challenging the sale deeds, having been executed beyond the share of the seller, has been filed till date. Taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, I am of the opinion that this petition deserves to be disposed of with a direction that petitioners will appear before the summoning Court on or before 17.03.2010 and offer their bail bonds for appearance during the period of trial. In case, the trial Court on the basis of the facts before it is not ready to accept the bail bonds, a speaking order will be passed. However, the petitioners will not be taken in custody for next 7 days to enable them to approach this Court. Disposed of. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE February 15, 2010. rka . . . 2
