In the High Court of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh Criminal Misc. No.M- 16300 of 2010 (O&M) Date of decision: 1.7.2010 Prabjot Kaur ......Petitioner Versus State of Punjab .......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr.Sanjeev Virk , Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr.Arshwinder Singh, DAG, Punjab. **** SABINA, J. This petition has been filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR 75 No. 6.3.2010 dated under Sections 419, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (“IPC” for short), registered at Police Station Division No.4, Jalandhar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that as per the allegations, the petitioner had identified Tej Kaur as Harbhajan Kaur and as a result of this, the said Tej Kaur executed an agreement to sell in favour of Harish Chander and took a sum of Rs.13,00,000/-. The petitioner had neither signed the agreement to sell (Annexure P-1) nor had received any amount. Learned State counsel, on the other hand, has submitted Criminal Misc. No.M- 16300 of 2010 (O&M) -2- that the petitioner is a habitual offender. She is also involved in two other criminal cases under Section 420 IPC i.e. FIR No.98 of 2009, Police Station Division No.4, Jalandhar and FIR No.185 of 2009, Police Station Adampur. The petitioner is required for custodial interrogation. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the opinion that no ground for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Keeping in view the seriousness of offence committed by the petitioner and fact that the petitioner is also involved in other criminal cases relating to cheating and the fact that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is necessary, this petition is dismissed.
