Criminal Misc. No. M-8598 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-8598 of 2011 Date of decision : 09.05.2011 Sanjiv Kumar @ Samuel Masih ....Petitioner V/s State of Punjab ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. D.S. Pheruman, Advocate for the petitioner. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking pre-arrest bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 30 dated 28.01.2011 under Sections 380/420/467/468/471/457 IPC at Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. From the perusal of the FIR, no offence qua the petitioner is made out and thus he is entitled to concession of pre- arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner. Allegation against Sanjiv Kumar @ Samuel Masih (petitioner herein) is that he fraudulently alienated the property of Amritsar Diocesan Trust Association. The petitioner who had general power of attorney of said Association was restrained from alienating the property in dispute vide order dated 8.9.2003. The petitioner acted in connivance with co-accused and property of Amritsar Diocesan Trust Association was leased out to one Criminal Misc. No. M-8598 of 2011 2 Jagir Singh for 99 years. Jagir Singh further transferred the said property in the name of Sudarshan Kumar. The bail application of Sudarshan Kumar (Crl. Misc. No. M-6241 of 2011) was earlier dismissed by this court. In view of nature of allegations levelled in the FIR, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to concession of pre-arrest bail. The petition is devoid of merit and is hereby dismissed. May 09, 2011 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
