HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE INDERJIT SINGH

Present:

Mr.V.K.Sandhir, Advocate for the petitioner.

**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioner has filed this petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.24 dated 27.04.2015 under Sections 420 and 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Fathegarh Churian, District Batala.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the record.

From the record, I find that the present petitioner is named in the FIR. The allegation against the present petitioner is that he instigated the complainant to send his daughter to America and told the complainant that he knew accused No.2 to 5, who used to send persons to America for permanent residence and also provide them employment there. As per the allegations, `21 lacs has been paid to the accused and they have collected the passport and other educational certificates of the daughter of the VINEET GULATI 2016.07.19 15:35 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh complainant but neither they returned the money nor they sent the daughter

CRM No.M-21552 of 2016 -2of the complainant to America.

The petitioner is named in the FIR. He is required for custodial interrogation and recovery of amount is to be made. Keeping in view the above facts and in view of the nature and gravity of the offence, I do not find it a fit case where petitioner is entitled for grant of anticipatory bail.

Therefore, finding no merit in the present petition, the same is dismissed.
