No.M-23942 of 2008 Date of decision : 1.10.2008 Gulshan Kumar .....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. R.K.Lamba, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Mor, Senior Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. Mr. B.K.Bagri, Advocate for the complainant. S. D. ANAND, J. The prosecution presentation at the time of arguments before this court is as under:- The house under reference is reserved for allotment to members of Scheduled Castes. The petitioner brought into being a forged general power of attorney in order to obtain change of title of that house in his name. The petitioner-accused thereby committed an act of cheating and forgery. Learned counsel for the petitioner argues that the petitioner had not committed any act of cheating or forgery and the original title deeds pertaining to the house under reference had been handed over to him by none-else or other than the owner thereof. In the context of above averment, learned State counsel Criminal Misc. No.M-23942 of 2008 -2- **** points out that allottee had handed over the title deeds to a care taker by the name of Kaptan Singh who misconducted himself and passed on the documents to the petitioner. In that very context, it is reiterated that the petitioner opted to get the forged power of attorney registered in Madhya Pradesh. In the circumstances of the case, I do not find it to be a fit case for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The plea shall stand declined accordingly. However, it is directed that the (regular) bail plea filed by the petitioner would be disposed of by the learned Trial Court within three days of the filing thereof. October 01, 2008 (S. D.
