Hon'ble Mr. Justice Fateh Deep Singh Present :

Mr. Sham Lal Bhalla, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Jasjeet Dhaliwal, DAG, Punjab, for the respondent Mr. GS Verma, Advocate, for the complainant Fateh Deep Singh, J. (Oral) The allegations against petitioner Amit Kumar Bhardwaj @ Arjun in this anticipatory bail are that while working as a salesman in the firm M/s Kharbanda Trading Company owned by the complainant Davneet Singh, he is alleged to have forged certain bills of the owner and in the process has duped the owner of a sum of Rs 15/16 lacs. The contention of the counsel for the petitioner is that coaccused Neetu has been granted similar relief and that there is no evidence to link the petitioner with the commission of the offence though on behalf of the State the bail application is opposed and Mr.

GS Verma, Advocate on behalf of the complainant has sought to show much vehemence and opposition to the stand of the petitioner side. However, having regard to the own admission of the prosecution that the alleged documents stated to Dalbir Singh Tiwana 2016.12.23 16:52 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Punjab and Haryana High Court, Chandigarh.
