Mr. Manish Soni, Advocate for the petitioner (CRM-M No.34046 of 2011). Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral) Both the petitions are connected and are being disposed of with CRM-M No.36087 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: common order. These petitions have been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case FIR No.257 dated 14.10.2011 registered under Sections 420, 120-B IPC and Section 24 of the Immigration Act at Police Station, Division No.5, Civil Lines, Ludhiana. The broad brush allegations are that the complainant was duped by the petitioners who are travel agents. On 11.11.2011 the following contention was noticed in CRM- M No.34046 of 2011:- “Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that even from the FIR it has not born out that the work permit was forged because admittedly the son of the complainant worked in Malaysia for one year.” Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from H.C. Bikramjit Singh has accepted the fact that the complainant did work in Malaysia for one year. In this view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to allow these petitions. Ordered accordingly. In the event of arrest of the petitioners, they shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
