IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 28331 of 2011 Date of decision: 16.11.2011 Kuldip Singh Petitioner vs. State of Punjab Respondent Present: Mr. RS Ghuaman, Advocate. Mr. Kirat Singh, DAG< Pb M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Darshan Singh alleging that the petitioner has fraudulently withdrawn a sum of Rs.5 lacs belonging to the complainant and that he has stolen the transformer from the land of the complainant along with Gurnam Singh After hearing counsel for the parties it is apparent that the allegation against the petitioner is that he being a Record Keeper in the bank had allegedly withdrawn a sum of Rs. 5 lacs from the joint account of the complainant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he being a close relation of the complainant has been falsely implicated in the case on the basis of some misconceived notion . He further submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence as he had a joint account with the complainant. Amount, if any, withdrawn from the joint account will not constitute any offence. A perusal of the file indicates that the petitioner has not approached the Sessions Court to seek the concession of pre-arrest bail. This petition is dismissed, relegating the petitioner to avail the alternative remedy, as per law. November 16 ,2011 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
