IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH ***** CRM-M-37554 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision:14.12.2011 Mandeep Singh . . .Petitioner Versus State of Punjab . . . Respondent ***** CORAM: HON’BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN ***** Present: Mr.B.S. Baath, Advocate, for the petitioner. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. This is a petition for pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.16 dated 18.5.2011 under Sections 420 & 120-B of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 (for short ‘IPC’) at Police Station Ghuman Kalan, Tehsil and District Gurdaspur. The complaint is registered by Sumeet Sharma, who has alleged that he wanted to go abroad along with his family for which a sum of `22 lacs was settled with the petitioner. It is further alleged that a sum of `5 lacs was given to the petitioner along with the passport and other documents but neither the petitioner was sent abroad nor his money and documents have been returned. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that he has been falsely implicated in this case. It has been found that Sukhwinder Singh (brother-in-law of the petitioner) and Amandeep Kaur (Sister of the petitioner) were running a traveling agency and he has been involved in this case being an easy target. I have heard learned counsel for the parties from which I have found that the main allegation in the FIR against the petitioner is that he has been given `5 lacs along with the documents much less the passport etc. and since nothing has been recovered so far, therefore, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) DECEMBER 14, 2011 JUDGE Vivek
