Crl. Misc. No. M-27071 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-27071 of 2011 Date of Decision: December 12, 2011 Sanjay Sharma …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Sudhir Makkar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Kirat Singh Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. Mr.R.S. Randhawa, Advocate for the complainant. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Vipin Kumar, Regional head of Indusind Bank alleging that a fraud was committed by the officials of the Bank. R.P.Singh, a teller and Bhupinder Singh, Manager (Operation) had allegedly hacked the I.D. of petitioner to commit fraud with some customers. Crl. Misc. No. M-27071 of 2011 [2] Counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the petitioner is not named in the FIR but he has been involved in the case as a suspect on the basis of material gathered after the presentation of challan. Counsel for the complainant has intervened to oppose the petition for pre-arrest bail. State counsel on the instructions of ASI Balwinder Singh informs that on the basis of the investigation conducted under Section 173 (8) Cr.P.C. a supplementary challan is to be presented against the petitioner on the basis of a CCTV footage showing the petitioner handing over money to two persons without there being any entry regarding payment of money on the particular dates. Since it is a case of misappropriation of money of the bank, it will not be appropriate to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. I have considered the contention of counsel for the petitioner that trial has been in progress w.e.f. April 2010 and that the petitioner has been falsely implicated subsequently. It will be premature to express any opinion regarding the investigation which led to the preparation of the supplementary challan which is to be presented against the petitioner. No ground is made out to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner on the basis of the material indicting the receipts of money by the petitioner without maintaining the record. Dismissed. Nothing said in this order will prejudice the rights of the petitioner to seek the concession of regular bail. Crl. Misc. No. M-27071 of 2011 [3] December 12, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
