IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA, CHANDIGARH Criminal Miscellaneous No. M-30196 of 2009 Date of Decision: March 30, 2010 Bachittar Singh .....PETITIONER(S) VERSUS State of Punjab .....RESPONDENT(S) . . . CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAI LAMBA PRESENT: - Mr. A.D.S. Sukhija, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Rajni Gupta, Additional Advocate General, Punjab, assisted by Mr. Sandeep Chopra, Advocate, for the complainant. . . . AJAI LAMBA, J (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.141 dated 5.9.2009 under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471, 120-B IPC registered with Police Station, Sarabha Nagar, Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is a purchaser for consideration. Rather, payment of land was made by way of cheques. I have considered the contentions. It is not in dispute that petition for bail under Crl. Misc. No. M-30196 of 2009 [2] Section 438 Cr.P.C. filed on behalf of Dharampal Singh was dismissed on 17.11.2009 while dealing with Criminal Miscellaneous No.M-31017 of 2009. Order dated 17.11.2009 notices the role of petitioner, Bachittar Singh. Petitioner, Bachittar Singh is the person who incited Pritpal Singh to execute a Will in favour of his wife Baljit Kaur and divest inheritance to his sons from the property owned by him. On that pretext, Bachittar Singh brought Pritpal Singh to the Civil Courts and obtained a power of attorney in favour of Dharampal Singh. On the strength of the power of attorney, the land was purported to be purchased by the petitioner and one Chetan Behal by way of three sale deeds. The sale consideration is far below the market value of the land. Considering the role of the petitioner, no ground for bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is made out. The petition is dismissed. (AJAI LAMBA) March 30, 2010 JUDGE avin 1. To be referred to the Reporters or not? 2. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest?
