Crl. Misc No. M 19549 OF 2011 ****** Raj Kumar vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Dhaliwal, Addl. A.G. Punjab ******* The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.29, dated 12.5.2011, registered under Sections 420, 465, 467, 468, 471 of the IPC, and Section 61 of the Punjab Excise Act, at Police Station Phul, District Bathinda. The allegation is that on a secret information, the police arrested one Gian Singh with country made liquor which he was selling without licence. It is alleged that the petitioner is also involved in the said business. Counsel for the respondent, however, on instructions from ASI Dilbagh Singh, has stated that no other case has been lodged against the petitioner. In view of the fact that the petitioner was not arrested with any liquor and the fact that there is no other objective evidence against the petitioner, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to him. Consequently, in the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 11, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
