Crl. Misc. No.M-19681 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Balbir Singh Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Divjyot S. Sandhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.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.24 dated 03.05.2011 registered under Sections 420, 467, 468, 471, 120 IPC at Police Station Talwandi Chaudhrian, District Kapurthala. On 05.07.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that as per the dictum of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Md. Ibrahim and ors. v. State of Bihar and Anr. reported as 2009(4) RCR (Criminal) 369, the case like the present can only be initiated at the instance of the purchaser who has been allegedly duped and not by a person who claims to be the owner of the property.” Learned Deputy Advocate General has not been able to cite any contrary judgment. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Crl. Misc. No.M-19681 of 2011 (O&M) -2- Petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 09.08.2011 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 interim bail subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
