Crl. Misc. No. M-8118 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-8118 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 16.3.2011 Pardeep Kumar ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Brijender Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. (oral) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking pre- arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 419, 420, 120-B IPC at Police Station Sector 20, Panchkula, District Panchkula, vide FIR No.16 dated 27th February, 2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that petitioner has no role to play in the alleged crime and has been implicated only due to some misunderstanding. He submits that main accused has already been arrested and thus, petitioner is entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The FIR was registered on 27th February, 2011 when Sub Inspector Rajesh Kumar along with other police officials was on checking duty in Govt. Model Senior Secondary School, Sector 20, Crl. Misc. No. M-8118 of 2011 Panchkula. At that time, an application was moved by the Principal of the said school who stated that in the exam being conducted for the post of conductor, one Ashutosh had been found to be appearing in place of the petitioner. As a result, the impersonator was caught on the spot by the police. Recovery of roll number slip of the petitioner was effected from the said person, namely Ashutosh. Needless to observe that the petitioner being the beneficiary of impersonation by Ashutosh, is not entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. His custodial interrogation may be necessary for taking the investigation to its logical end. The petition is, thus, devoid of merit and the same is hereby dismissed.
