IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-8961 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: March 28, 2011 Narinder Singh @ Nindi …..Petitioner versus State of Punjab .....Respondents CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Harminderjit Singh, Advocate for the petitioner .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under sections 395/420/472/473 IPC and section 25/54/59 of the Arms Act vide FIR No.223 dated 19.7.2010 at police station Focal Point Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that in the FIR no allegation is levelled against the petitioner. He has been falsely implicated in the case and is, thus, entitled to concession of bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. FIR was lodged on the statement made by complainant Sanjay Mehra. He stated that he was working as a cashier at Bonn bread factory, Jhabewal. On 19.7.2010 he was going to deposit Rs.42,45,000/- in State Bank of India, Phase 5, Focal Point, Ludhiana in his car. He was accompanied by his driver Jasbir Singh and co-employees Raj Crl.Misc.No.M-8961 of 2011 - 2 - Munda and Junash Arao. At about 12.25 PM when they reached near Akal Spring Factory, one while colour Honda Accord car bearing No.PB-10BV-0392 came there. Two persons were sitting in said car. They struck their car with complainant’s car. As a result thereof, car of the complainant was driven towards Katcha path. The Honda Accord was then parked in front of car of complainant and two persons came out of it armed with pistols. They forced the driver of complainant’s car at gunpoint to open the dickey. In the meantime, a while colour Toyota Fortuner came there wherein four boys were sitting armed with deadly weapons. They took out cash from the dickey of complainant’s car and fled away in Toyota Fortuner leaving the Honda Accord car on the spot. During investigation, it was found that petitioner was involved in the crime. He made a disclosure statement and on basis of same recovery of Rs.2 lacs was effected. It appears that allegation against the petitioner is that he in connivance with co-accused committed dacoity of Rs.42,45,000/-. The bail application preferred by him before the Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana was dismissed with the observation that in case applicant is enlarged on bail, he is likely to tamper with the prosecution evidence. In view of entire facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to concession of bail. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed.
