IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M M 12127 of 2010 Date of decision: 13.7.2010 Lucky Petitioner vs. State of Punjab Respondent Present: Mr. HS Minhas, Advocate. Mr. Abhishek Chautala, AAG, Pb M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner has joined the investigation pursuant to the interim order dated 28.4.2010, as per the instructions given by ASI Ashok Kumar to the learned State counsel. It is claimed that the amount collected by the petitioner from the various borrowers of the complainant- company is to be recovered. Heard. In view of the money dispute between the petitioner and the complainant, the matter seems to have been compromised vide annexure P-1. The petitioner seems to have paid major portion of the amount due to the complainant. It appears that there is a controversy regarding the remaining amount and other terms of the settlement. A complaint u/s 138 of the Negotiable Instruments Act has been filed against the petitioner by the complainant on the basis of the cheques, which had been handed over by the petitioner to the complainant, alleged to be for security purposes. Taking into consideration all the circumstances, it appears to be a dispute regarding recovery/ settlement of the financial dispute after rendition of accounts. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and interim order dated 28.4.2010 is hereby confirmed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, he will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that the petitioner will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation.
