Cr.Misc. M 6323 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 6323 of 2010 Date of decision:3.8.2010 Gurinderjit Petitioner vs. State of Punjab Respondent Present: Mr.GPS Bal, Advocate. Mr. PS Bajwa, DAG, Pb M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a case, registered at the instance of District Manager, Punjab State Warehousing Corporation alleging that the petitioner has purchased a property measuring 1 kanal 18 marla from Ramesh Kumar on 1.2.2000 to defeat the rights of the complainant, who had obtained a decree from the civil court against the seller. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there was no entry in the revenue record regarding the property having been attached in the execution proceedings. The petitioner being a bona fide purchaser and the liability being of civil nature, the petitioner should be granted the concession of pre-arrest bail. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record of the case. The petitioner happens to be the brother-in-law (sala) of Ramesh Kumar. He, with an oblique motive to defeat the rights of the complainant has purchased the property. The seller in this case owed a huge amount. A decree had been passed against him but to defeat the rights of the complainant and to avoid his liability, the property has been Cr.Misc. M 6323 of 2010 2 sold by Ramesh Kumar to the petitioner. It cannot be said that the petitioner was not where that the property was not free from incumbrances. No extra-ordinary exceptional circumstances exist for the grant of pre- arrest bail, especially when during investigation it has transpired that the petitioner has further sold the property to one Gurmeet Singh.
