State of Punjab ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Matvinder Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Abhishek Chautala, A.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.101 dated 22.07.2011 registered under Sections 420, 409 IPC at Police Station Sadar Hoshiarpur, District Hoshiarpur. On 07.09.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that the petitioner demitted office in 2003 and after seven years this allegation has been made that he did not hand over complete charge.” Learned Assistant Advocate General on instructions from ASI Aksh Pal has accepted these factual assertions though he states that the CRM-M No.27157 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: petitioner should be obligated to hand over the material which he has purchased. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner would have no hesitation in appearing before the investigating officer and joining the investigation and giving all the amount. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 10.10.2011 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 bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
