CRM- M 37583 of 2011 ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M 37583 of 2011 Date of decision : December 20, 2011 Deepak Kumar and another, ...... Petitioners v. State of Punjab, ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Shiv Kumar, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Sumeet Abrol, AAG Punjab Mr. Sanjeev Goyal, Advocate for the complainant. *** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioners seek grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.221, dated 19.11.2011, registered under Sections 448, 379, 511 of the IPC, at Police Station Sunam, District Sangrur. On 13.12.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that the allegations of the complainant-bank which have been believed by the learned Additional Sessions Judge, are baseless.” Counsel for the complainant has, however, argued that the petitioners have made other attempts to defraud the bank also. Apart from that, the petitioners in the present case had filed a civil suit for permanent CRM- M 37583 of 2011 ::2:: injunction for restraining the bank from taking possession of the house. The said suit was dismissed and even thereafter the petitioners broke open the locks as has been reported in the FIR. In my considered opinion, if the petitioners are found to be guilty, they would, of-course, be liable to undergo whatever punishment is meted out to them but at this stage their custodial interrogation is not required. Consequently, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The petitioners are directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 27.12.2011 or on any other day on which the Investigating Officer requires their presence and in the event of their appearance, the petitioners shall be released on anticipatory bail to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the conditions as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 20, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
