Crl.M.No.M-17727 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-17727 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: June 28, 2010 Sukhjit Singh @ Sukha .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Ms.Kiran Verma, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.148, dated 1.4.2010, under Sections 420, 171, 506, 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that he alongwith co-accused defrauded complainant Pritam Kaur by extracting Rs.35,000/- from her on false promises. Case of present petitioner-accused is similar to co-accused Raja S/o Joginder Singh, who also filed a petition for anticipatory bail, i.e., Crl.M.No.M-17692 of 2010, which was dismissed as withdrawn by a Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 24.6.2010, which reads as under:- “Learned counsel for the petitioner after arguing for some time prays to withdraw the petition with liberty to surrender before the trial Court and to seek regular bail from the trial Court. In view of the statement made above, the petition is dismissed as withdrawn.” Hence, in view of the serious allegations against the petitioner- accused, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory Crl.M.No.M-17727 of 2010 (O&M) -2- bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Sukhjit Singh @ Sukha for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed being devoid of any merit. 28.6.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
