Criminal Misc. No. M. 19829 of 2011 (O&M) Ram Singh V. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Veneet Sharma, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. **** This petition has been filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No. 76 dated 27.5.2011 registered under Sections 420 of the Indian Penal Code at Police Station Gharinda, District Amritsar City. On 06.07.2011, the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that the present FIR is a rehash of FIR No. 66 dated 18.6.2006 in which allegations are of similar nature viz. That of taking moneys from people for getting them recruited in the various forces of the nation. In the earlier FIR the petitioner was arrested, bailed out regularly and is now facing trial. As per learned counsel no useful purpose would be served by again detaining the petitioner in respect of similar allegations that too after a period of six years.” Learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab on instructions from Karamjit Singh has accepted this factual assertion. In this view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. In the event of the arrest of the petitioner, he shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Petition stands disposed of. (AJAY TEWARI) JUDGE 20.07.2011 'ravinder'
