In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh. CRM M-34594 of 2008 (O&M) Decided on 10.7.2009 Manohar Singh -- Petitioner vs. State of Punjab and another --Respondents Present: Mr. N.S.Kandhola, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Ranbir Singh Rawat,AAG,Punjab. Mr.Parmod Parmar,Advocate,for respondent No.2. Rakesh Kumar Jain, J: This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed by the petitioner in a case FIR No.36 dated 01.11.2008, registered under Sections 420/406, IPC at Police Station, Nawanshahr. In the FIR registered by Dalip Singh complainant, it is alleged that he gave an amount of Rs.6,40,000/- in cash to Manohar Singh Chatha (petitioner) in order to send his son Jaspal Singh to Itlay who had committed that he would send him within a month but neither he was sent nor the money has been returned. It is alleged that in this deal, Sarwan Singh son of Deva was a surety. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner had applied for anticipatory bail vide bail application No. 649 of 2008 before the learned Addl.Sessions Judge, Nawanshahr, which has been dismissed on 19.11.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that a false CRM M-34594 of 2008 (O&M) -2- case has been registered against him by the complainant without revealing source of that money, which is alleged to have been paid to him. It is further alleged that he had taken Rs.40,000/- from the complainant as loan which he could not pay, as a result of which, the complainant has registered the present case. As against this, learned counsel for the complainant as well as State of Punjab have submitted that the petitioner had earlier sent son of Sarwan Singh to Holland and then son of the complainant was sent to Thailand instead of Itlay, from where he was deported within a week. Thus, it is submitted that the involvement of the petitioner is writ large who has not returned the money taken from the complainant so far. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the nature of offence which is rising day by day, I am of the considered view that it is not a fit case to grant concession of anticipatory bail. Hence, the bail application is hereby dismissed. July 10,2009 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
