The relevant portion thereof is reproduced as under:- “The FIR was recorded on the basis of the written application of Ramanjit Kaur, who stated therein that the sale deed has been forged in respect of part of the plot purchased by her vide registered document No. 3714 dated 28.7.1995, in the name of Jagdish Singh, by producing some fake lady./ The same of the Crl. Misc. No. M – 5122 of 2010 -2- petitioner does not figure in the FIR. However, it has been submitted by the State counsel that the present petitioner and Naresh Kumar are property dealers, who made some lady to impersonate as the complainant and got the sale deed execute and registered in the name of Jagdish Singh and that the challan has already been presented in the Court.” Thus the role, which has been attributed to Rakesh Kumar, has also been attributed to this petitioner. When such is the case, this petitioner is also entitled to the benefit of bail as the principle of judicial uniformity is to be maintained. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and without expressing anything on the merits of the case, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bathinda subject to the following conditions:- (i)He shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (ii)He shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court.` The petition is disposed of accordingly.
