CRM No. 14084 of 2011 in/and CRM-M No. 5065 of 2011 **** Pushpa and others vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Onkar Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gazi Mohammad, DAG, Punjab. Mr.Sandeep Arora, Advocate for the complainant. **** CRM No. 14084 of 2011 CRM allowed. Annexures P-3 and P-4 taken on record. CRM-M No. 5065 of 2011 This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 187 dated 27.09.2010, under Sections 419, 465, 467, 471, 120-B IPC registered at Police Station City Gurdaspsur, District Gurdaspur. The dispute relates to a power of attorney of the year 1996. Learned counsel for the complainant states that the matter regarding forged power of attorney came to their notice only now that it was on the basis of the alleged power of attorney the petitioners had sold away property of the complainant in the year 1998. In my opinion this factor alone would entitle the petitioners to the grant of anticipatory bail. However, it would be necessary for the petitioners to join the investigation. In the circumstances they are directed to appear before the investigating officer on 04.04.2011 between 11.00 a.m. and 4.00 p.m. and on any further dates on which they are required. The investigating officer is directed to release the petitioners on bail to his satisfaction subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
