HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VIJAY BISHNOI

Judgment / Order

13/12/2021

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused

the material available on record.

The petitioner(s) apprehend(s) his/her/their arrest in

connection with FIR No.06/2020 of Police Station Nohar,

Distt. Hanumangarh for the offence(s) punishable under

Section(s) 420, 465, 467, 471 & 120-B IPC.

Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted

that the complaint is regarding the alleged patta, said to

have been issued by the Gram Panchayat concerned

around 40 years ago i.e. 20.10.1980. It is further

submitted that allegation of preparation of the forged

patta is not against the petitioners and their role is only

to the effect that when the said patta was produced for

registration authority, they have identified the holder of

the patta. It is further submitted that the patta holder

namely Chananmal has transferred the said patta in the

name of his wife through a gift deed and in that gift

deed, the petitioners stood as witnesses. It is also

submitted that the petitioners have simply identified the

person at the time of registration, in favour of whom, the

alleged patta was issued and the gift deed was executed,

(3 of 4)

otherwise, there is no role of the petitioners in

preparation of the said patta or the gift deed.

Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has opposed

these anticipatory bail applications.

Having regard to the totality of the facts and

circumstances of the case, without expressing any

opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it just and

proper to grant anticipatory bail to the accused

petitioner(s) under Section 438 Cr.P.C.

Accordingly, this/these bail application(s) under

Section 438 Cr.P.C. is/are allowed and it is directed that

in the event of arrest of petitioner(s) - Pankaj son of Shri

Chananmal and Vikas Lakhera son of Shri Rajkumar in

connection with FIR No.06/2020 of Police Station Nohar,

Distt. Hanumangarh, they shall be enlarged on bail

provided each of them furnishes a personal bond in the

sum of Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties

of Rs.25,000/- each to the satisfaction of the concerned

I.O./S.H.O. on the following conditions:-

(i) that the petitioner(s) shall make himself/herself/themselves available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required;

(ii) that the petitioner(s) shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the

(4 of 4)

facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such facts to the court or any police officer; and

(iii) that the petitioner(s) shall not leave India without previous permission of the court.
