IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. 77752-M of 2006 DATE OF DECISION : 12.12.2006 Sham Kumar Bhardwaj .... PETITIONER Versus State of Punjab ..... RESPONDENT CORAM :- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present: Mr. Akshay Bhan, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * Petitioner Sham Kumar Bhardwaj, apprehending his arrest in a non-bailable offence in case FIR No. 345 dated 15.11.2006 under Sections 419, 420, 465, 467, 468, 471/120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Phagwara City, has filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for the grant of anticipatory bail. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the contents of the FIR as well as the order dated 5.12.2006, passed by Sessions Judge, Kapurthala, whereby bail application of the petitioner has been dismissed. In this case, petitioner is the father of Ambar Bhardwaj, who is the main accused and is in custody. Petitioner is attesting witness of the sale deed which was executed by one Balwinder Singh by impersonating the original owner Jarnail Singh. Keeping in view the facts of the case and the nature of allegations and the fact that the petitioner is the attesting witness of the forged sale deed, I am not inclined to grant him the discretionary relief of anticipatory bail. Dismissed. December 12, 2006 ( SATISH KUMAR MITTAL ) ndj JUDGE
