Crl. Misc. No.M-21604 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Promila Rani and another Vs. Chandigarh Administration Present : Mr. Parminder Singh-I, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. P.K. Khindria, Standing counsel for U.T., Chandigarh. Mr. P.C. Dhiman, Advocate for the complainant. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.139 dated 7.6.2008 registered under Sections 406, 420, 120-B, 467, 468 and 471 IPC at Police Station Sector 26, Chandigarh. On 20.07.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that in the main case the petitioner has already on bail and now Sections 467, 468 and 471 IPC have been added without the permission of the Court by way of filing a supplementary challan. He has further argued that the petitioner No.1 is a lady and the petitioner No.2 is a chronically sick person suffering from kidneys failure. ” Learned standing counsel for U.T., Chandigarh has accepted the fact that in the main case under Section 420 IPC the petitioners are already on bail. Learned counsel for the complainant has however argued that in the present case it was only during the trial of the civil suit it transpired that even the NOC obtained by the petitioners from the Bank was forged. Crl. Misc. No.M-21604 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Be that as it may, once the petitioners are on bail in the main case, in my considered opinion, their custodial interrogation would not be required at this stage. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Ordered accordingly. Petitioners are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 11.08.2011 at 09.30 A.M. and on any other date as and when their presence is required. On their appearance, the Investigating Officer would release them on bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
