IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-27742 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision : 6.10.2009 Paramjit Singh ....Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MAHESH GROVER .... Present: Mr.Surinder Singh Siao, Advocate for the petitioner. .... MAHESH GROVER, J. Crl.Misc.No.50198 of 2009 Crl.Misc. is allowed as prayed for. Crl.Misc.No.M-27742 of 2009 This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. praying for release of the petitioner in terms thereof in a case registered vide FIR No.211 dated 17.9.2009 under Sections 406/420/120-B IPC at Police Station Rajpura, Distt. Patiala. The allegations against the petitioner are that he introduced the vendees to the vendor and actively participated in the transaction which turned out to be fraudulent. In the process the complainant lost Rs.55 lacs. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner is innocent and he has no role to play as he is neither the signatory of Crl.Misc.No.M-27742 of 2009 (O&M) -2- the agreement to sell nor he is beneficiary in any way and merely because he has introduced someone with the vendor it does not make out the commission of any offence against him. After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the considered opinion that the facts as narrated in the FIR reveal active participation of the petitioner in duping the complainant of Rs.55 lacs and he apparently seems to be a prime instigator and in such eventuality no concession of bail can be granted to him. Dismissed. 6.10.2009 (MAHESH GROVER) JUDGE dss
