Shri Afzal Alam vs State Of Haryana And Others on 22 January, 2009<\/div>\n
 CRM No. M-24379 of 2008                           1\n\n\n\n\n    IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB &\n              HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.\n\n\n                                 CRM No. M-24379 of 2008 (O&M)\n                                 Date of decision: 22.01.2009\n\n\nShri Afzal Alam                                        ...Petitioner\n                                Versus\n\nState of Haryana and others                            ...Respondents\n\nBEFORE: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA\n\nPresent:      Mr. Yogesh Chaudhary, Advocate, for the petitioner.\n              Mr. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Senior DAG, Haryana.\n              Mr. Akshay Bhan, Advocate, for the complainant.\n\nRajan Gupta, J.\n<\/pre>\n
              The petitioner has preferred this petition under Section 439<\/p>\n
(2) read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. for cancellation of anticipatory bail<\/p>\n
granted to respondent No.4 by Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track<\/p>\n
Court, Gurgaon vide its order dated 6th September, 2008 (Annexure<\/p>\n
P-3).      The main grouse of the petitioner is that while granting<\/p>\n
anticipatory bail, the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court,<\/p>\n
Gurgaon has given observations on merits of the case. This apart, the<\/p>\n
said court has not taken into consideration the gravity of the offence and<\/p>\n
need for custodial interrogation as recovery of Rs.60.00 lacs was to be<\/p>\n
effected from respondent No.4.\n<\/p>\n
              The counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the<\/p>\n
Additional Sessions Judge while granting anticipatory bail, has adverted<\/p>\n
to the merits of the case and thus the trial court may be swayed or
\n  CRM No. M-24379 of 2008                           2<\/span><\/p>\n
influenced by the observations made therein. He has relied upon a<\/p>\n
judgment of the apex court reported as Nira Radia v. Dheeraj Singh<\/p>\n
and another, (2006) 9 Supreme Court Cases 760 in support of his<\/p>\n
contention that while dealing with an application for bail, the court need<\/p>\n
not make elaborate and detailed analysis of the evidence\/material and<\/p>\n
record findings on their acceptability or otherwise.<\/p>\n
              Learned counsel for respondent No.4 has, however,<\/p>\n
submitted that bail once granted can be cancelled only when cogent and<\/p>\n
overwhelming circumstances are available for cancellation of the same.<\/p>\n
Learned counsel has placed reliance on judgments of the apex court<\/p>\n
reported as    Dolat Ram and Ors. v. State of Haryana,<\/a> (1995) 1<\/p>\n
Supreme Court Cases 349 and Mahant Chand Nath Yogi and Anr. v.<\/p>\n
State of Haryana,<\/a> (2003) 1 Supreme Court Cases 326 in support of<\/p>\n
their contentions.\n<\/p>\n
              I have heard learned counsel for the parties and given my<\/p>\n
careful thought to the matter in hand. It appears that the petitioner made<\/p>\n
a complaint before the Judicial Magistrate 1st Class, Gurgaon, under<\/p>\n
Section 156 (3) Cr.P.C. which led to registration of case against<\/p>\n
respondent No.4 under Sections 202, 341, 406, 418, 420, 423, 424, 506<\/p>\n
IPC and Section 5 (a) (c) and 23-B of the FERA Act. Basically, the<\/p>\n
allegations pertained to a fraud having been committed by the accused-<\/p>\n
respondent No.4 with the petitioner apart from violation of various<\/p>\n
provisions of FERA as enumerated in length in the FIR. This apart,<\/p>\n
certain allegations of threats by the accused have been made.
\n  CRM No. M-24379 of 2008                          3<\/span><\/p>\n
            During the investigation, the accused-respondent No.4<\/p>\n
preferred an application for anticipatory bail before the Additional<\/p>\n
Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Gurgaon, which was granted by the<\/p>\n
said court on 6th September, 2008.\n<\/p>\n
            The contention of the petitioner that bail granted to<\/p>\n
respondent No.4 be cancelled as the same was granted without taking<\/p>\n
into consideration the need for custodial interrogation, is devoid of any<\/p>\n
merit. The anticipatory bail once having been granted, very cogent<\/p>\n
reasons are required for cancelling the same. Basically, the allegations<\/p>\n
against the accused being of having committed a fraud on the petitioner,<\/p>\n
grant of anticipatory bail cannot impede effective investigation by the<\/p>\n
police in a case of this nature. Moreover, bail having been once granted,<\/p>\n
certain parameters have been laid down by the apex court for<\/p>\n
cancellation of the same. In para 4 of the judgment reported as Dolat<\/p>\n
Ram’s case (supra), the apex court held as under:-<\/p>\n
            “4. Rejection of bail in a non-bailable case at the initial
\n            stage and the cancellation of bail so granted, have to be
\n            considered and delay with on different basis. Very cogent
\n            and overwhelming circumstances are necessary for an order
\n            directing the cancellation of the bail, already granted.
\n            Generally speaking the grounds of cancellation of bail,
\n            broadly (illustrative and not exhaustive) are: interference or
\n            attempt to interfere with the due course of administration of
\n            justice or evasion or attempt to evade the due course of
\n            justice or abuse of the concession granted to the accused in
\n            any manner. The satisfaction of the Court, on the basis of
\n            material placed on the record of the possibility of the
\n  CRM No. M-24379 of 2008                           4<\/span><\/p>\n
            accused absconding is yet another reason justifying the
\n            cancellation of bail. However, bail once granted should not
\n            be cancelled in a mechanical manner without considering
\n            whether any supervening circumstances have rendered it no
\n            longer conducive to a fair trial to allow the accused to retain
\n            his freedom by enjoying the concession of bail during the
\n            trial. These principles, it appears, were lost sight of by the
\n            High Court when it decided to cancel the bail, already
\n            granted. The High Court it appears to us overlooked the
\n            distinction of the factors relevant for rejecting bail in a non-
\n            bailable case in the first instance and the cancellation of
\n            bail already granted.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            Similar was the view in Mahant Chand Nath’s case<\/p>\n
(supra). In para 17 of the said judgment, the apex court observed as<\/p>\n
under:-\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
            “17. This Court in Subhendu Mishra v. Subrat Kumar
\n            Mishra and Anr.<\/a> [2000 ACC (Cri) 1508] following
\n            principles stated in Dolat Ram and Ors. v. State of
\n            Haryana MANU\/SC\/0547\/1995<\/a> has reiterated that there is
\n            a distinction between rejection of bail in a non-bailable
\n            case at the initial stage and the cancellation of bail already
\n            granted. Normally, very cogent and overwhelming grounds
\n            or circumstances are required to cancel the bail already
\n            granted. In the present case, the High Court, it appears, did
\n            not bear this distinction in mind and cancelled the bail in a
\n            mechanical manner.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
            Moreover, from a perusal of the order passed by Additional<\/p>\n
Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court, Gurgaon, it is evident that the order
\n  CRM No. M-24379 of 2008                           5<\/span><\/p>\n
of anticipatory bail shall enure only till the presentation of challan. In<\/p>\n
case the investigating agency finds cogent evidence and presents a<\/p>\n
challan against the accused before the competent court on the basis of<\/p>\n
such evidence, the accused-respondent No.4 would have to apply for<\/p>\n
regular bail and meet the parameters envisaged by Section 439 Cr.P.C.<\/p>\n
for grant of regular bail. This apart, the cancellation of bail has not been<\/p>\n
sought by the investigating agency in this case.         This leads to an<\/p>\n
inference that it has been possible for the investigating agency to carry<\/p>\n
out the investigation despite the protective order granted to respondent<\/p>\n
No.4 by the court below. Besides, FIR was registered on 24th August,<\/p>\n
2008. The investigation may have made considerable progress by now.<\/p>\n
             I am, therefore, of the view that this petition for<\/p>\n
cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to respondent No.4 by way of<\/p>\n
order Annexure P-3, deserves to be dismissed. However, the option for<\/p>\n
seeking cancellation of bail is still available to the investigating agency,<\/p>\n
if the circumstances so require. Liberty for the same is hereby granted<\/p>\n
to the investigating agency\/prosecution.\n<\/p>\n
             It is, however, necessary to point out here that certain<\/p>\n
observations have been made by the Additional Sessions Judge, Fast<\/p>\n
Track Court, Gurgaon in paras 8, 9 and 10 of the order granting bail,<\/p>\n
which may amount to an opinion on merits. I am of the considered view<\/p>\n
that it was not at all necessary for the said court to advert to merits of<\/p>\n
the case while considering an application for grant of anticipatory bail.<\/p>\n
In depth analysis of evidence and material on record at the stage of
\n   CRM No. M-24379 of 2008                                 6<\/span><\/p>\n
considering an application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is not at all<\/p>\n
required. This approach was disapproved by the Supreme Court in Nira<\/p>\n
Radia’s case (supra) with the following observations:-<\/p>\n
             “We find that while dealing with an application for bail, the
\n             learned Single Judge of the High Court has made elaborate
\n             and detailed analysis of the evidence\/materials and has
\n             recorded findings which virtually amounts to acceptability
\n             or otherwise thereof. This is not the course to be adopted
\n             by the High Court while dealing with a bail application.
\n             Though, some reference to the materials would be
\n             necessary, that would not be a substitute for making a
\n             detailed and in-depth analysis of the materials and
\n             recording findings on their acceptability or otherwise. That
\n             essentially is a matter for trial. …………”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
             In this view of the matter, it is directed that the trial court<\/p>\n
shall not take into consideration any observations made in the order<\/p>\n
granting anticipatory bail at any stage of the proceedings either at the<\/p>\n
time of considering application, if any, for regular bail or at the stage of<\/p>\n
trial.\n<\/p>\n
             The petition thus stands dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                                      (RAJAN GUPTA)
