On 1.8.2011, the following contentions of the learned counsel for the petitioners were noticed: “Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners had in fact raised a loan of ` 1,80,000/- from the complainant. To secure the loan, two blank cheques were handed over to him. Rs.2,00,000/- were re-paid. However, as certain small amount of interest due remained to be paid, the cheques had been retained by the complainant. However, mentioning all these facts, an agreement was entered into which was duly signed by the complainant and petitioner No.3. The aforesaid agreement is not on record with the Investigating Officer. The allegations in the FIR are totally false.” Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI Gurmeet Singh, submitted that the petitioners have already joined investigation and their custodial interrogation is not required as eye witnesses to the agreement, which was allegedly forged by the petitioners, have stated before the Investigating Officer that the agreement in question was signed by Rachpal Singh complainant in their presence. In view of the aforesaid stand of the learned counsel for the Crl. Misc. -M No. 21637 of 2011 -2- State, interim bail granted to the petitioners on 1.8.2011 is made absolute. The petition stands disposed of. ( Rajesh Bindal ) 24.8.2011 Judge Meenu
