IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. -M No. 30925 of 2011 (O&M) Amarpreet Singh .. Petitioner versus State of Punjab .. Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. Lakhwinder Singh Mann, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajesh Bindal, J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in FIR No. 85 dated 30.8.2011, registered under Sections 420, 120-B IPC at Police Station Division No. 2, Ludhiana. The allegations against the petitioner in the FIR are that the petitioner had agreed to sell a shop to the complainant, which is owned by the Punjab Wakf Board and was on lease with one Harpreet Singh. Amarpreet Singh petitioner had agreed to purchase the shop from Harpreet Singh vide agreement to sell dated 12.11.2008 where he claimed that he was owner in possession of the shop. The petitioner also stated in the agreement to sell that he had bought the shop from Harpreet Singh and the same is free from all encumbrances and disputes. It is not in dispute that the shop was on lease with Harpreet Singh. It could not be claimed that the allottees of the shop were entitled to sell the same to any other person. Considering the allegations against the petitioner that he received a sum of ` 1,50,000/- as earnest money from the complainant for sale of the shop, the title of which is in the name of Punjab Wakf Board, I do not find this to be a fit case for grant of pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed. ( Rajesh Bindal ) 13.10.2011 Judge vs
