**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.
Both the above-mentioned cases are taken up together being arisen from same FIR.
Petitioners have filed these petitions under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in FIR No.42 dated 07.05.2015 under Sections 406, 420, 467, 468 and 471 IPC, registered at Police Station Amloh, District Fatehgarh Sahib.
Notice of motion was issued and learned State counsel VINEET GULATI 2015.08.25 16:38 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh
CRM No.M-18507 of 2015 and connected case -2appeared and contested the petitions.
I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. As per the prosecution version, FIR has been registered at the instance of complainant Avtar Singh, who mainly stated that Gurjeet Singh got agreement to sell of land measuring 3 acres for total sale consideration of `25,80,000/- per acre from the owner of land namely Jagjeet Singh in favour of the complainant. `1 lac was paid as earnest money to Gurjeet Singh. Neither the earnest money was returned nor the sale deed was executed. The complainant also came to know that Gurjeet Singh has forged the signatures of Jagjeet Singh.
The petitioners have already joined the investigation. They are not required for custodial interrogation nor anything is to be recovered from them. The dispute looks like of civil nature. The case is based upon documentary evidence. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioners to custody. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and without discussing the merits of the case in minute details and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case at this stage, I find merit in both the petitions and the same are allowed. The orders dated 29.05.2015 passed in both the petitions, granting interim bail to the petitioners, are made absolute.
