Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Prayer under Section 438 Cr.PC is for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.326 dated 22.6.2010 under Sections 420,406,467,468,471,506 and 120-B IPC, PS City Ballabgarh,Distt.Faridabad. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner is only an attesting witness to the agreement to sell executed between complainant-Sushil Kumar and Naresh Kumar-owner of plot measuring 44 square yards. The allegations against the petitioner-a Property Dealer are that he in connivance with other accused mentioned in the FIR, received a sum of Rs.95,000/-, out of total sale consideration of Rs.2,56,000/-, from the complainant on the pretext of selling him a plot measuring 44 square yards, belonging to one Naresh Kumar however, they neither got the promised sale deed executed nor returned the money to the complainant and instead threatened to kill the complainant if he ever dared to demand his money back. It has come on record that signatures of vendor-Naresh Kumar have been forged and he has also not received the earnest money of Rs.95,000/-. Keeping in view the nature of allegations, no case for grant of anticipatory bail is made out as custodial interrogation of petitioner is required for effective investigation of the case.
