Crl.M.No.M-24050 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-24050 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 23, 2010 Jati Ram .....Petitioner v. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.S.N.Pillania, 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.83, dated 20.3.2010, under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471 and 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Safidon, District Jind, Haryana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner are that land of owners Telu and Banni Singh, measuring 1850 kanals 2 marlas of Village Muana, Tehsil Safidon, District Jind, was declared surplus and the same was allotted to 140 persons vide allotment order dated 16.9.1976. Notices were issued to those persons. However, it came during inquiry that notices did not contain thumb impressions/signatures of those persons and that rather their thumb impressions/signatures were forged. Those notices contained signatures of the present petitioner, being Chowkidar of the Village. Hence, he is the main accused. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Rather, his custodial interrogation is necessary. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Jati Crl.M.No.M-24050 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Ram, for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 23.8.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
