Crl. Misc No. M 9735 OF 2011 ****** Raman Kaur and another vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. R.S.Mamli, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S.Dhaliwal, Addl. A.G.Punjab ******* The petitioners seek grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.68, dated 7.10.2010, registered under Sections 420/120 of the IPC, at Police Jaurkian, District Mansa. On 11.5.2011, the following order was passed :- “ This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No.68 dated 7.10.2010, under Sections 420/120B IPC registered at Police Station Jaurkian, District Mansa, Punjab. Learned counsel has argued that even though the petitioners have not taken any money yet to show their bona fides they are ready to create a fixed deposit of an amount of Rs.1,50,000/- in the name of the Illaqa Magistrate which may be released to the party whoever is found entitled for the same at the conclusion of the legal process. Prays for a short adjournment to enable the petitioners to make the said deposit. I find this to be a fair request. In the circumstances I deem it appropriate to grant interim protection to the petitioners to enable them to make the necessary deposit. Adjourned to 31.5.2011. Arrest of the petitioners shall remain stayed in the meanwhile.” Thereafter, on 31.5.2011 the following order was passed :- “ Petitioner no.1 is present in Court and seeks one more opportunity to create a Fixed Deposit in terms of order dated 11.5.2011. Adjourned to 6.7.2011. It is made clear that in case deposit is not made in terms of the offer made on the last date, the prayer for anticipatory bail would be liable to be declined.” Crl.Misc No. M 9735 of 2011 : 2 : Then on 6.7.2011, the following order was passed :- “ Counsel for the petitioners states that he has just been engaged and prays for a short adjournment to ascertain as to whether the petitioners have made the necessary deposit, as envisaged in the order dated 11.5.2011. Adjourned to 11.7.2011.” Today, counsel for the petitioners seeks to argue the matter on merit. In view of the conduct of the petitioners, as is apparent from the orders extracted above, this petition is dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 11, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
