Crl.M. No. M-8659 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M. No. M-8659 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 6.4.2011 ... Gurdeep Singh ................Petitioner vs. State of Punjab .................Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri Present: Sh. Akshay Bhan, Advocate and Sh. Ankur Mittal, Advocate for the petitioner Sh. Amandeep Singh Rai, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. ... K.C. Puri, J. As per allegation of the prosecution, a case was registered against Gurdeep Singh and others under Sections 392 IPC etc. The investigation of that case was pending. In order to get bail in that case, it is alleged that Ram Chander and Navneet Verma offered the bribe of ` 20 lacs to SHO, who is the complainant in the present case, which was to be paid in the office of Gurdeep Singh. It is alleged that SHO informed the superiors about said fact and the case was registered and SHO alongwith superiors went to conduct the raid. It is alleged that the petitioner ran away from the spot. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that no Crl.M. No. M-8659 of 2011 -2- overt act has been attributed to the petitioner, so he is entitled to the concession of anticipatory bail. An amount of `18 lacs was recovered at the spot. The case is still at investigation stage. The amount of `18 lacs cannot be stated to be given without the consent of the petitioner. So, taking into account the totality of circumstances, in my view, it is not a fit case to allow the concession of anticipatory bail, to applicant. Consequently, the petition for grant of anticipatory bail stands dismissed. ( K.C. Puri ) 6.4.2011 Judge chugh
