State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Sarwan Singh, Sr.Advocate with Mr.N.S.Rapri, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.50658 of 2011 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-28535 of 2011 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.119, dated 23.4.2010, under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 IPC, registered at Police Station Sarabha Nagar, Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the impugned order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. This is second application for anticipatory bail filed by petitioner-accused before this Court. His earlier application for anticipatory bail was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 28.5.2010 passed in Crl.M.No.M-16387 of 2010 on merit and since then he is absconding. Crl.M.No.M-28535 of 2011(O&M) -2- Brief allegations against petitioner-accused are that it came out in an enquiry conducted by Assistant Commissioner of Police, Special Branch, Ludhiana, that he prepared a false power of attorney of plot Nos.142/143, Khasra No.899/2, 900 measuring 833 sq.yards in Abadi Ashapuri Barewala, Ludhiana, and sold the same to Tarun Kumar Gupta and in the garb of the said forged power of attorney and sale deed, he tried to dispossess the owners of plot, i.e., complainant Maninder kaur and Jasbir Kaur. The only fresh ground taken by counsel for the petitioner is that earlier co-accused was absconding and however, now he has since been arrested. However, merely, on this ground the petitioner has no right to file second application for anticipatory bail. Specific role has been attributed to him. He is absconding and hence, he is not entitled for extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Kuldeep Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 20.9.2011 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
