The State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Gorakh Nath, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.54144 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-30266 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.371, dated 23.9.2010, under Sections 7 and 13 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, registered at Police Station Sarai Khawaja, District Faridabad, Haryana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the impugned order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Faridabad, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused, who was posted as EASI and was on traffic duty at Badarpur Border, are that on 12.8.2010, at about 17.15 p.m., he issued challan vide book No.3256, Form No.80 for an amount of Rs.1000/- in the name of complainant Bilal Ahmad for commission of offence No.26, i.e., dangerous driving and charged Rs.1000/- from the said complainant. However, in the counter copy maintained by the present petitioner, it has been shown that offence was committed as mentioned at serial No.66, i.e., without seat belt, and Rs.100/- Crl.M.No.M-30266 of 2010 (O&M) -2- as fine was shown. Matter was enquired into by Assistant Police Commissioner, who found the allegations correct and only thereafter FIR was registered. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Rather, his custodial interrogation is necessary. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- EASI Sat Narain for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 12.10.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
