Crl. Misc No. M-12608 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc No. M-12608 of 2009 Date of decision : 11.08.2009 Anu Sharma ....Petitioner V/s State of U.T. Chandigarh and another ....Respondents BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Ms. Maninder Kaur, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. D.D. Sharma, Senior Standing counsel for U.T. Chandigarh. Ms. Anita Khanna, Advocate for the complainant. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition praying for anticipatory bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 420 IPC at police station, Sector 31, Chandigarh vide FIR No. 54 dated 26.03.2009. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the entire amount which is the subject of the FIR has already been paid by the petitioner. Interim pre-arrest bail was granted to the petitioner on 08.05.2009. On the last date a statement was made by the counsel for the U.T. Chandigarh that the petitioner was not cooperating with the investigating agency. Learned counsel has stated that the petitioner is required for the purpose of custodial interrogation now as the receipt for a Crl. Misc No. M-12608 of 2009 2 sum of Rs. 2,90,000/- appears to be fake. According to the counsel there are number of other complaints against the petitioner of similar nature. I have heard counsel for the parties. In view of the fact that despite interim order the investigating agency has stated that the petitioner is not cooperating and is required for custodial interrogation, I find no ground to extend the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The petition is hereby dismissed. 11.08.2009 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
