Criminal Misc. No. M-19289 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-19289 of 2010(O&M) Date of decision : 28.07.2010 Vipin Bhola ....Petitioner V/s State of Haryana ....Respondent BEFORE : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Navneet Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Sr. Deputy Advocate General, Haryana. RAJAN GUPTA J. (ORAL) This is a petition filed under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure seeking anticipatory bail in a case registered against the petitioner vide FIR No. 748 dated 30.08.2006 under Sections 408/420/120- B IPC at Police Station City Gurgaon. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case when there is no evidence to connect the petitioner with the commission of crime. He, thus, submits that petitioner be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail. Learned State counsel on the other hand has vehemently opposed the prayer for pre-arrest bail. He, on instructions from Sub- Inspector Om Parkash, who is present in court submits that the petitioner along with co-accused had defrauded the company by taking away 424 grams of gold. He further submits that certain accused have been arrested who have attributed clear cut role to the petitioner and recovery of Criminal Misc. No. M-19289 of 2010 2 approximately Rs. 1,83,000/- has been effected from two of the employees of the company. According to him, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is necessary for the purpose of taking the investigation to its logical end. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. It is evident that allegation against the petitioner are serious in nature. He is alleged to have defrauded the company of 424 grams of gold. The crime has been committed by the petitioner in connivance with the co- accused who are employees of the company. Under the circumstances, I am of the considered view that no case for pre-arrest bail is made out. The petition is devoid of merit. The same is hereby dismissed. July 28, 2010 (RAJAN GUPTA) Ajay JUDGE
