Petitioner Versus Union Territory of Chandigarh .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Bipan Ghai, Senior Advocate with Mr. Pawan Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Ashima Mor, Additional Public Prosecutor with Mr. Pankaj Katia, Advocate, for the complainant. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Lovlesh Kumar Aggarwal has filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (in short, Cr. P. c.) for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.285 dated 12.09.2011 under Sections 147, 148, 149, 323, 307 and 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Manimajra, Chandigarh. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Learned State counsel on instruction form SI Rajinder Parshad submitted that offence under Section 307 IPC has since been dropped. After dropping of offence under Section 307 IPC, the main offence remains under Section 323 IPC, which is a minor bailable offence. Crl. Misc. No. M-30824 of 2011 -2- There is also, however, offence under Section 506 IPC which is non bailable. Keeping in view the nature of allegations and the nature of offences, in my considered opinion, the petitioner deserves the concession of anticipatory bail. There is also counter version of the petitioner that the complainant was not returning his blank signed cheques which the complainant had taken while depositing money with petitioner No.1, who repaid the money to the complainant but the complainant did not return the cheques. In view of the aforesaid, without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, the instant petition for anticipatory bail is allowed. Interim order dated 10.10.2011 is made absolute. 8th December, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) 'raj' JUDGE
