CRM-M No. 9637 of 2011 **** Smt. Daisy Sharma vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. Sushil Saini, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, DAG, Punjab. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 17 dated 10.2.2011, under Section 420 IPC registered at Police Station Chheharta, District Amritsar. On 18.04.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “ Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that in fact real accused is Gurpreet Singh and that the petitioner's brother and brother-in-law have also been defrauded by him but no action is being taken against the aforesaid Gurpeeet Singh.” Learned DAG, on instructions from ASI Sarwan Singh, states that the houses of the main accused Gurpreet Singh have been raided but he is absconding. Thus, it emerges that there may be some basis in the claim of the petitioner that she has been a victim rather than an accomplice. In the circumstances I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In case she is arrested, she shall be released on bail by the investigating officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of.
