M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL).Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Hardev Singh alleging that Parmanad Kansal, Jagdeep Sumal and Karandeep Singh had promised to get the VISA of daughter of the complainant extended as she had gone to Australia against said VISA.
A sum of Rs.1,68,000/- was handed over to the non-petitioner by the complainant.
Accused Parmanad Kansal along with other persons had allegedly constituted a group to dupe the complainant.
After hearing the learned counsel for the petitioner and going through the record, it transpires that the petitioner is partner of M/s Global Mind.
Raj Kumar Arora 1 2014.07.08 11:49 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document CRM-M-8893-2014 (O&M) A perusal of the record indicates that the allegation against the petitioner is that he had taken the complainant to the bank to get the amount withdrawn but he is not specifically mentioned in the FIR.
There is no specific allegation against the petitioner.
It is surprising that the main accused Parmanad Kansal named in the FIR, for the reasons best known to the Investigating Agency stand exonerated on enquiry.
The petitioner pursuant to the interim order has already joined investigation.
It does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation of the petitioner especially when the prosecution agency in its wisdom has opted to declare the main accused Parmanad Kansal innocent.
The petition is allowed.
Interim order dated 13.3.2014, is hereby made absolute subject to all the conditions under Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C.(M.M.S.BEDI) July 7, 2014.
