Cr.M.P.(M) No. 306 of 2009. 11.5.2009 Present: Mr. Bimal Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. R.K. Sharma, Sr. Addl. A.G. with Mr. Rajinder Dogra, Addl. A.G. and Mr. Vikas Rathore, Dy.A.G. for the respondent. This is an application under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No. 88 of 2009 dated 23.4.2009 registered at Police Station, Dharamshala under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code. Mr. Bimal Gupta, Advocate submits that the petitioner is an innocent person and has been falsely implicated in this case. Nothing is to be recovered from the petitioner. The petitioner undertakes to join the investigation as and when required and shall abide by all such terms and conditions which the Hon’ble Court may impose upon him. The learned Senior Additional Advocate General submits that the application filed for the grant of anticipatory bail by the petitioner has been rejected by the learned Additional Sessions Judge (II), Kangra at Dharamshala. The prosecution case is under investigation and the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required to examine him about the registration certificate. I have gone through the report produced by the prosecution. The recoveries have already been effected and the investigation in the case is almost complete except that the prosecution is to examine only about the registration certificate, which can be done without custodial interrogation of the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner has made out a case for his release on bail. Accordingly, the application is allowed. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in case F.I.R. No. 88 of 2009 dated 23.4.2009 registered at Police Station, Dharamshala under Sections 420, 467, 468 and 471 of the Indian Penal Code on his furnishing personal bond in the sum of Rs. 10,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Sessions Judge/Additional Sessions Judge, Kangra at Dharamshala. The observations made in this order are for the disposal of this application and the same shall not be treated as an expression or opinion on the merits of the case. (Rajiv Sharma), J. May 11, 2009.
