Petitioner(s) v. State of Punjab ... Respondent(s) CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJENDER SINGH MALIK Present: Shri Deepak Aggarwal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Shri A.S. Rai, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. Vijender Singh Malik , J. (Oral): Darshana, the petitioner sees pre-arrest bail in a case registered by way of FIR No.200 dated 11.8.2010 of Police Station Chheharta, Amritsar for an offence punishable under sections 420 and 120-B IPC. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that Joginder Singh was the original owner of the land in question and he obtained loan from some Bank on the security of this land. According to him, thereafter, he sold this land in favour of his wife Nirmal Kaur who further sold this land to the petitioner. According to him, the petitioner is not a party to the fraud, rather she is a victim of the fraud. According to him, she has also joined the investigation. Learned State Counsel, on the other hand, submits that the Crl. Misc. No. M-32902 of 2011 (O&M) -: 2 :- Bank Manager, while accepting the title documents of the land from Joginder Singh, did not inform the revenue-authorities of the fact of the mortgage of that land and this facilitated the sale of this land. He has, however, failed to dispute the factual submissions made by learned Counsel for the petitioner. First of all, this case is based on documentary evidence and the petitioner has joined the investigation and secondly, the petitioner prima- facie appears to be a victim of the offence. Consequently, the petitioner is entitled to bail. The petition is, therefore, allowed and the interim order dated 6.11.2011 is made absolute. [ Vijender Singh Malik ] May 04, 2012. Judge kadyan
