Cr.Misc. M 13311 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 13311 of 2011 Date of decision: 2.8.2011 Narresh Kumari petitioner vs State of Punjab respondent Present:- Mr. SS Majithia, Advocate. Mr.ARshvinder Singh,Addl.A.G.Pb M.M.S.BEDI, J. The petitioner is wife of Pawan Kumar. She seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Atma Ram alleging that he has been cheated by Amarjit Singh by selling a residential house,purchased by him from Pawan Kumar and the petitioner. The said fact had not been disclosed to the complainant that the property stands mortgaged with the Union Bank of India. So far as the petitioner is concerned, she along with her husband had sold the said property to Karamjit singh. If the allegations of the complainant Atma Ram and his wife Sarbjit Kaur complainant are taken on its face value, they have been cheated by Karamjit Singh, who had not disclosed that the property had been pledged with the bank for a sum of more than Rs.13 lacs. It is interesting to note that Karamjit Singh has been declared to be innocent by the investigating agency for the reasons best known to it. Husband of the petitioner after having been arrested has been granted the concession of regular bail. Pursuant to the interim order, passed by this court, the Cr.Misc. M 13311 of 2011 2 petitioner has already joined the investigation, as per instructions given by HC Jagdish Singh to the State counsel. The petitioner, prima facie, does not seem to have directly induced the complainant in any manner to part with money. It will be debatable during trial whether she has misappropriated any money of the complainant or she had persuaded the complainant to part with any money by inducing him to enter into a sale transaction. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, she will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that she will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation. In case of presentation of challan, she will be required to furnish fresh bail bonds to the satisfaction of the court concerned. August 2 , 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
