Crl. Misc No. M 11170 OF 2011 ****** Rajwinder Singh vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. Navjeet Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. U.S.Dhaliwal, Addl.A.G Punjab. ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.123, dated 5.5.2010, registered under Sections 420, 406, 498-A of the IPC, at Police Station Payal, Police District Khanna, District Ludhiana. On 15.4.2011, the following contentions were noticed :- “ Counsel for the petitioner has referred to the order dated 25.5.2010 (Annexure P-5) whereby Ramandip Singh, Surinder Kaur and Jagwinder Kaur have been granted interim bail. Further states that on 28.7.2010 they have been admitted to regular bail. The petitioner is first cousin to the husband of complainant.” Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from HC Harbans Singh, has accepted this factual position. In the circumstances, in my considered opinion the custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be necessary. The petitioner is, however, directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 7.5.2011 between 10 am to 3 pm and in the event of his arrest, he shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) April 27, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
