JUSTICE SATISH KUMAR MITTAL Present:- Shri Surinder Sharma, Advocate for the petitioners. Shri N.S. Gill, AAG, Punjab. Shri Ishwar Lal, Advocate for the complainant. **** Petitioners Ravinder Singh, Inder Jeet @ Sonu @ Bhotti and Inder Pal Singh apprehending their arrest in a non-bailable offence in case FIR No. 160 dated 3.6.2006 under Sections 420,465,467,471,120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Division No.6, Jalandhar have filed this petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for anticipatory bail. I have heard counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR. In this case, it has been alleged that a rent note has been forged by petitioner No.1, who is the tenant of the complainant. The said rent note was produced by petitioner No.1 before the Civil Court in a civil suit for permanent injunction filed by him. In the written statement the complainant has taken a stand that the said rent note is forged one. The civil suit is still pending between the parties and it is yet to be established whether the rent note is forged or not. Counsel for the petitioners contends that in view of the interim Crl. Misc. No.37634-M of 2006 -2- order dated 11.7.2006, the petitioners have joined the investigation. This fact has not been disputed by the State Counsel. In view of the above, the interim bail, granted vide order dated 4.7.2006 is made absolute. This bail order shall remain in operation till the investigation culminates into filing of challan under Section 173 Cr.P.C. except for material change in the circumstances. Thereafter the petitioners shall be entitled to the grant of regular bail by the trial Court and the same shall further continue till conclusion of the trial on the conditions to be imposed by the court of competent jurisdiction. Disposed of accordingly. August 31, 2006 (SATISH KUMAR MITTAL) pooja JUDGE
