Cr.Misc. M 15192 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 15192 of 2010 Date of decision:27.7.2010 Mohanpreet Singh Petitioner vs. State of Punjab Respondent Present: Mr. KS Sidhu, Advocate. Mr. Abishek Chautala, AAG,Pb Mr. HS Brar, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case, registered at the instance of Amarjit Singh, who is owner of a house. It is alleged that the petitioner has taken forcible possession of one room from Kanwaljit Kaur, wife of the complainant and has prepared forged Voter Card and driving licence to obtain a telephone and gas connection at the address of the complainant. It is contended by the counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is a tenant in the house of the complainant and a civil litigation regarding ejectment is pending. Learned counsel for the complainant has vehemently contended that the house was rented on 18.4.2009 but the petitioner has been able to procure the documents indicating that he had taken possession on 9.4.2009. On the basis of the possession, the petitioner has been able to get a driving licence ,voter I.D. Card, gas and telephone connection. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through Cr.Misc. M 15192 of 2010 2 the record. A suit for injunction has been filed by the petitioner claiming himself to be a tenant whereas an ejectment petition has been filed against the petitioner by the complainant land-lord. It appears that the petitioner is tenant of complainant and there is a dispute between the landlord and tenant. In case the petitioner has prepared some documents pertaining to his residence and a wrong date has been mentioned in those documents indicating the inception of possession, the landlord has not been prejudiced with the said documents. Even otherwise, the petitioner has joined the investigation. It does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and interim order dated 21.5.2010 is hereby confirmed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, he will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that the petitioner will join the investigation as and when required by the police and hand over all the necessary documents and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation. In case of violation of any direction, it will be open to the prosecution agency to seek cancellation of bail. July27 ,2010 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
