Crl. Misc. No.M-21832 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-21832 of 2011 Date of Decision: September 16, 2011 Kulwinder Singh @ Kunda …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr. D.S. Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Arshvinder Singh, Addl.A.G., Punjab. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered on the statement of Mohan Singh, complainant, alleging that on May 3, 2011 four persons including the petitioner had loaded 300 bags of wheat weighing 50 kg each to carry the same to Pungrain Godown , Rajpura but the said Truck did not reach destination. Three co-accused of the petitioner have already been arrested and released on regular bail. Crl. Misc. No.M-21832 of 2011 [2] The petition has been opposed by the State counsel on the ground that only 240 bags have been recovered whereas 60 bags are yet to be recovered. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and considered the facts and circumstances of the case. It will be debatable during trial whether it is a case of cheating or a case where the property has been entrusted to the petitioner and his co-accused which stock has been misappropriated. Major recoveries seem to have already been effected. It does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation especially when three co-accused of the petitioner have already been arrested and released on bail. Petition is allowed and it is ordered that petitioner will join investigation on October 1, 2011 at 11.00 a.m. and will continue to join investigation as and when required by the investigating agency and that he will not tamper with the evidence or hamper the investigation in any manner. This order will remain operative till the presentation of challan. The petitioner will be required to furnish fresh bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Court concerned in the eventuality of presentation of challan. In case of violation of any of the conditions, it will be open to the investigating agency to move an application before the Illaqa Magistrate and seek the cancellation of bail.
