IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-12008 of 2009 Date of decision : 26.05.2009 Amarjit Singh ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent. BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. IPS Kohli, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. KDS Sidhu, DAG Punjab. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that a legal notice, Annexure P-2 was issued on behalf of the complainant wherein the amount mentioned was Rs. 1.00 lac. However, four months, thereafter, the instant FIR was lodged in which the complainant alleged that Rs. 2.00 lacs has been paid to the petitioner for sending the complainant abroad. Learned counsel for the State on instructions from ASI Somnath, who is present in Court submits that cheques in question were issued by the petitioner which were later dishonored. According to the counsel, even the agreement to which reference has been made was signed by the petitioner. In view of the fact that there are direct allegations against the petitioner and a specific role has been attributed to him, his custodial interrogation may be required for taking the investigation to its logical end. The petition is, thus, devoid of merit and the same is dismissed as such. 26.05.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
