IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 21540 of 2010 Date of decision : 12.10.2010 Manjinder Kumar @ Jindi …. Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ….. Respondent Present : Mr. Manuj Nagrath, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gazi Mohd. Umair, DAG, Punjab. *** S.S. SARON, J. Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks regular bail in a case registered against him on 24.5.2010 for the offences under Sections 420, 465, 468, 471, 193 and 120-B IPC. The allegations against the petitioner are that he forged the suicide note of Smt. Surinder Kaur. The case FIR No.90 dated 25.7.2009 stands registered at Police Station Lambra, District Jalandhar for the offence under Section 306 IPC. In the said FIR, Surinder Kaur is said to have committed suicide and the suicide note which was found near her, it is alleged, has been forged by the petitioner. Therefore, the present FIR No.45 dated 24.5.2010 stands registered at Police Station Lambra, District Jalandhar in respect of the offences for which the petitioner seeks bail. The prosecution is to establish and prove the handwriting of the petitioner on the suicide note of Surinder Kaur. The case is triable by the learned Magistrate of Ist Class. The trial in the case is likely to take time. Further custody of the Crl. Misc. No. M- 21540 of 2010 [2] petitioner is not required as the case is based primarily on the documentary evidence and it is unlikely that the petitioner would tamper with the same. In the circumstances, the Crl. Misc. petition is allowed and the petitioner on his furnishing personal bond and surety to the satisfaction of the learned trial Magistrate shall be admitted to bail. (S.S. SARON) JUDGE October 12, 2010 amit
