Crl. Misc. No.M-17366 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Hamir Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. G.S. Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.51 dated 08.05.2011 registered under Sections 406, 409, 420 IPC at Police Station Bhadaur, District Barnala. On 01.06.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel states that in any case the amount stood deposited and thereafter the petitioner has also retired and in these circumstances his custodial interrogation would not be required since everything is a matter of record.” Learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from ASI Iqbal Singh has not been able to deny these factual assertions. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Crl. Misc. No.M-17366 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 09.08.2011 between 10 A.M. to 04 P.M and on any other date as and when his presence is required. On his appearance, the Investigating Officer would release him on interim bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
