Khempo Chhultin Tenzin …..… Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. ……. Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? No. For the Petitioner : Mr. Rakesh Jaswal, Advocate. For the Respondent : Mr. J.S. Guleria, Law Officer. Surinder Singh, J (oral): The present petition has been moved under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, for pre-arrest bail in FIR No.354/04, registered under Sections 420, 467, 568, 471 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, in Police Station Kullu, allegedly showing himself to be the son of accused Tashi resident of village Khangsar, Tehsil Keylong, District Lahul & Spiti by the petitioner and thereafter he procured bona-fide Himachali certificate and also agriculturist certificate pretending him to be the son of an agriculturist, whereas the petitioner is alleged to be a person of Tibetan origin. Against the said documents, he is alleged to have purchased the property at Rewalsar in Himachal Pradesh. On coming to know about this alleged fraud, his bona fide Himachali certificate was cancelled, which was assailed by him 2 by filing the CWP No.553/.2004, which was allowed on 4.11.2005 to the extent that before cancellation, he be heard. After hearing him the certificates were cancelled whereas FIR was already lodged against him and Tashi. Pursuant to the orders dated 26.11.2008, the petitioner was directed to join the investigation of this case and to handover the documents viz. School certificate, Pass port and identification certificate. Report has been filed today and the matter considered and heard. According to the learned counsel for the petitioner, there is an Institute of Budhist Studies and Meditation at Rewalsar in District Mandi, H.P., but the school certificate are not issued to the monks in the said institute and insofar as the Pass Port is concerned, the petitioner has applied for it, but it has not yet been issued to him so far. With respect to the identification certificate the original PAN card has been handed over to the police, which fact has been admitted by the learned Law Officer. Shri J.S. Guleria, learned Law Officer, submitted that the petitioner claimed in his writ petition that he studied in the Rewalsar Monk School and thereafter in Budhist Liasion Centre Darjling, therefore, he must have been having some records of those Institutes which have not been supplied to the police. In my opinion the whereabouts of the Institutes are known to the police, therefore, this fact can be verified from the said Institutes and there is no hurdle to them to collect the relevant evidence therefrom. 3 In view of this situation, the petitioner is entitled for bail. Therefore, interim order dated 25.11.2008 granting interim bail to him is affirmed, subject to further conditions: (i) That the petitioner shall make himself available for the interrogation on 5th & 6th December, 2008 and thereafter whenever called for the said purpose. (ii) The petitioner shall also present himself in the court as and when required to do so. (iii) The petitioner shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or to any police officer. (iv) The petitioner shall also supply the addresses of the Institutions where he undertook the studies at Darjling, Nepal and other places. (v) The petitioner shall not leave the boundaries of Himachal Pradesh so long as the case remains under investigation of this case and in case of any emergency he is to leave the boundaries of the State, he shall inform the Investigating Officer or the Superintendent of Police concerned in writing before leaving and also inform thereafter about his whereabouts with complete address and contact phone number(s). (vi) The petitioner shall cooperate with the investigation of this case to take it in to the logical end. 4 Needless to say that in case the petitioner shall cause any breach of the conditions, mentioned herein above, the liberty of bail shall be cancelled. Application stands disposed of. Copy dasti on usual terms. December 3, 2008. (Surinder Singh) (Pds) Judge.
