JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: - Mr. S.S. Rangi, for the petitioners. Mr. K.D. Sachdeva, Addl. A.G., Punjab. 1.Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ***** ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) Petitioners have moved an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. seeking anticipatory bail in a case FIR No.198 dated 9.11.2010 registered under Sections 467, 465, 468, 447, 427, 379, 471, 120-B IPC, Police Station Sadar, Ludhiana, District Ludhiana. Complainant has lodged a complaint contending therein that accused-petitioners have fraudulently forged agreement dated 1.4.1987 in the name of one Gandha Singh son of Nand Singh, Dalbara Singh father of accused-petitioner No.1 and husband of accused-petitioner No.2. It has further been stated in the FIR that in the garb of the alleged fabricated agreement to sell, petitioners accused want to grab the property of the complainant and for this purpose they have removed the cement polls installed by the complainant on the boundaries of the property in question. CRM No. M-35330 of 2010 -2- Learned counsel for the petitioners vehemently argued that as to whether agreement is valid or enforceable can only be seen in a civil litigation. He further states that the civil dispute has been given the colour of the criminal offence. Learned Additional Advocate General, Mr. K.D. Sachdeva, has argued that cemented polls removed by the petitioners-accused from the spot have yet to be recovered from the petitioners, hence this is not a case for anticipatory bail. In the opinion of this Court prima facie it seems that a civil dispute has been given colour or the criminal offence, hence application moved by the petitioners is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the petitioners-accused, they shall be released on bail on furnishing their personal bond and one surety each of Rs.20,000/- to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer. Petitioners shall co-operate in the investigation. (Alok Singh) Judge January 04, 2011 R.S.
