Crl.M.No.M-25936 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-25936 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: September 9, 2010 Sikandar Singh .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Navkiran Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.46274 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-25936 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.102, dated 16.4.2008, under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468, 471 IPC, registered at Police Station Haibowal, District Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that he was involved in theft of number of vehicles and that he also forged the documents. He was also declared proclaimed offender. The FIR pertains to the year 2008. On the similar facts, application for anticipatory bail filed by co-accused Vikas Goyal was already dismissed by a coordinate Bench of this Court, vide order dated 5.3.2010, passed in Crl.M.No.M-5179 of 2009. There are allegations that petitioner is member of gang involved in theft of cars, forgery and cheating. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner- accused. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any Crl.M.No.M-25936 of 2010 (O&M) -2- opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Sikandar Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 9.9.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
