CRM-M No. 13599 of 2011 **** Santosh vs. State of Haryana Present: Mr. Naveen Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.Man Mohan Sikka, DAG, Haryana. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No.465 dated 10.12.2010, under Sections 420, 406, 506, 120-B IPC registered at Police Station Sarai Khawaja, District Faridabad. On 12.05.2011 the following order was passed:- “ On 05.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that not only civil litigation but even a criminal complaint has been filed by the petitioner against the complainant and the present FIR is merely a counter blast.” Learned counsel for the complainant has stated that the allegation that the complainant obtained signatures on blank paper from the petitioner is obviously wrong since the petitioner had given a General Power of Attorney in favouor of the complainant. Prays for a short adjournment to place that General Power of Attorney on record. Adjourned to 16.05.2011.” In my opinion in view of pendency of litigation between the parties it would be in the interest of justice if the petitioner makes a fixed deposit of ` 6 lacs in favour of the Court where the civil suit is pending between the parties which would be handed over to the party ultimately found CRM-M No. 13599 of 2011 -2- entitled thereto. Learned counsel states that he has no objection to this course of action but some time may be granted. I find it to be a fair request and grant three months time to the petitioner to make the said deposit. In the circumstances this petition is allowed and it is directed that in the event of arrest of the petitioner, she shall be released on bail by the investigating officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. It goes without saying that in the event of default of the petitioner to make the necessary deposit as undertaken, the bail granted shall be liable to be cancelled. Petition stands disposed of.
