Crl. Misc. No. M-30119 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-30119 of 2011 Date of Decision : November 03, 2011 Richapal Singh .... Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. S. K. Jain, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Senior DAG, Haryana. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Richapal Singh has filed this petition for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.02 dated 07.01.2011, under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code, registered at Police Station Raipur Rani, District Panchkula. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner forged some resolution and other documents and sold 03 kanals 10 marlas land of Crl. Misc. No. M-30119 of 2011 2 Gurudwara and utilized the sale price of Rs.11,50,000/- for his personal use. Counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that the Gurudwara was being managed by a registered Society and the said Society, by passing resolution, authorized the petitioner to sell the land in question. It was also submitted that the case is triable by Magistrate and the petitioner is in custody since 19.07.2011. I have carefully considered the aforesaid contentions. It is undisputed that the land in question was donated by Yad Ram and his son Gurmeet Singh to Gurudwara. Consequently, the Society had no locus standi to sell the said land or to authorize the petitioner to sell the same. In addition to it, the petitioner had no right to utilize the sale amount for his personal use. The admitted allegations against the petitioner are very serious in nature. He does not deserve the concession of bail. Dismissed, without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case. November 03, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
