Crl. Misc No. M 16064 OF 2011 ****** Tara Chand vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. R.D.Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Chandumajra, DAG Punjab ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.36, dated 6.4.2011, registered under Sections 406, 420 of the IPC, at Police Station Sadar Hoshiarpur, District Hoshiarpur. On 24.5.2011, the following contentions were noticed :- “ Learned counsel has argued that a perusal of the FIR does not reveal what connection there is between co- accused Joginder Singh and the present petitioner and even the reason how the present petitioner entered into an agreement to return any money to the complainant. Further as per learned counsel if any such agreement is there it at best would constitute a civil liability.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Tarsem Singh, has accepted the fact that the agreement which has been annexed by the complainant does not reveal any criminal offence but is merely an agreement to repay the money. In the circumstances, in my opinion the custodial interrogation of the petitioner would not be required. Consequently, in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 31, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
