State of Punjab Respondent

Present:

Mr. ADS Sukhija, Advocate.

Ms. Simsi Dhir, DAG, Punjab M.M.S.BEDI,J.

The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Sohan Singh alleging that his son wanted to get admission in Scot College, London but on account of the said college having been closed, his son was not admitted in the college. The petitioner is alleged to have received a sum of Rs.5.20 lacs. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the FIR was registered in the year 2013 and co-accused of the petitioner has been granted the concession of pre-arrest bail and that the petitioner being Director of the Company was not arrayed as an accused originally. It has further been submitted by counsel for the petitioner that son of the complainant is already settled in London and the amount received, was deposited with the college.

On asking of the court, learned State counsel informs that son of the complainant, till date is in London. The petitioner has been involved in the case on the basis of disclosure statement of the co-accused. The culpability of the petitioner will certainly be a debatable issue during trial. The petitioner has joined the investigation. His custodial interrogation does Tapinder Singh Mann 2016.10.18 17:25 I attest to the accuracy and integrity of this document
