Criminal Misc.-M No. 29710 of 2011 1 IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 29710 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 26.11.2011 Jagsir Singh @ Sheera ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ..Respondent CORAM: Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present: Mr. P.S. Khurana, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. …… RAJESH BINDAL, J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in FIR No. 110 dated 21.6.2011 registered under Sections 420/506 IPC at Police Station Sadar Fazilka. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that even if the allegations in the FIR are taken to be true, it could at the most be, a civil dispute regarding money transaction where certain money taken from the complainant was to be returned back by the petitioner. The fact that the amount was paid to the petitioner for getting job to the complainant is totally false and concocted. In fact, no details regarding advertisement, the application submitted by the complainant for the job have been furnished. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that the petitioner had given in writing before the Panchayat on 2.10.2010 that he had taken ` 2,35,000/- from the complainant for getting his some personal work done, however, as he could not get the work done, he will return the money after the next crop. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the statement of the petitioner before the Panchayat, where he admitted having Criminal Misc.-M No. 29710 of 2011 2 received money from the complainant for getting his personal work done and undertook to return the money, in my opinion, the petitioner does not deserve concession of pre-arrest bail. Dismissed. (RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE 26.11.2011 sharmila
