CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI
PRESENT Mr.P.S.Dhaliwal, Advocate, for the petitioner.
M.M.S. BEDI, J (ORAL).
Petitioner apprehends arrest having been ordered to be summoned under Section 319 Cr.P.C., as additional accused in a case registered at the instance of Harpal Singh on the allegations that the petitioner along with Happy was also present when sum of Rs.16 lacs had been given to Labh Singh by the complainant with false promise to the complainant for a job. The FIR pertains to the year 2011. The petitioner was found innocent during the course of investigation. It does not appear to be a case where custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required for any purpose as dual version qua the involvement of the petitioner has already cropped up.
Notice to the Advocate General, Haryana.
On asking of the Court notice has been accepted by Mr.G.S.Salwara, DAG, Haryana, present in the Court. Copy given.
