Ranjodh Singh<\/p>\n<p>left behind his widow namely, Basant Kaur and two sons Dilraj Singh and<\/p>\n<p>Sukhraj Singh. During his life time, Jamiat Singh retained 1\/3rd share of<\/p>\n<p>joint family property after giving 1\/3rd share each to his sons Bikramjit<\/p>\n<p>Singh and Ranjodh Singh. After his death, Jamiat Singh gave 1\/3rd share<\/p>\n<p>to his daughter Simerjit Kaur by way of decree and will. The said decree<\/p>\n<p>and will was challenged by sons of said Jamiat Singh, namely Bikramjit<\/p>\n<p>Singh, Dilraj Singh and Sukhraj Singh by way of civil suit which was<\/p>\n<p>decreed, but they lost thereafter up to the Hon&#8217;ble Apex Court.<\/p>\n<p>            During the pendency of civil litigation, Simerjit Kaur died on<\/p>\n<p>13.10.2006 . On 1.2.2007, mutation of the property of Simerjit Kaur was<\/p>\n<p>sanctioned on the basis of decree and will given by Jamiat Singh but the<\/p>\n<p>said mutation was challenged by way of appeal by Dilraj Singh which was<\/p>\n<p>allowed on 29.2.2008 by Sub Divisional Collector, Malout. In the said<\/p>\n<p>appeal, Navjot Kaur wife of Harvinder Singh was impleaded as a party,<\/p>\n<p>who alleged herself to be the daughter of said Simerjit Kaur.        In the<\/p>\n<p>meanwhile, on the basis of the report of Sub Divisional Magistrate, District<\/p>\n<p>Collector, Muktsar, allowed to review mutation No.2560 vide his order<\/p>\n<p>dated 24.3.2009. The said order was challenged by Dilraj Singh (petitioner<\/p>\n<p>No.1) by way of appeal before the learned Commissioner, Ferozepur<\/p>\n<p>Division, Ferozepur. It is further submitted that vide order dated 30.4.2009<\/p>\n<p>(Annexure P-3), the order dated 29.2.2009 by which the order of review<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                CRM-M 15017of 2009 (O&amp;M)                               3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>was passed by the Sub Divisional Magistrate-cum District Collector, Muktsar,<br \/>\nwas stayed.\n<\/p>\n<p>               Apprehending their arrest in the aforesaid FIR and before<\/p>\n<p>coming to this Court, the petitioners had applied for anticipatory bail before<\/p>\n<p>the learned Addl.Sessions Judge, Muktsar, which was dismissed on<\/p>\n<p>28.4.2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>               Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that Simerjit<\/p>\n<p>Kaur had left the village somewhere in the year 1985 and had not visited<\/p>\n<p>for once and as such Nambardar of the village has stated in the proceedings<\/p>\n<p>which culminated into order Annexure P-1 that &#8221; he cannot say about<\/p>\n<p>Navjot Kaur as to who she is&#8221;. He further submitted that co-accused<\/p>\n<p>namely        Sukhraj Singh and Hardip Singh have already been granted<\/p>\n<p>anticipatory bail by this Court in CRM-M 13201 of 2009 on 19.5.2009 by<\/p>\n<p>Hon&#8217;ble Mr.Justice Sham Sunder.\n<\/p>\n<p>               On the contrary, learned counsel for the complainant has filed<\/p>\n<p>CRM No.36673 of 2009 in order to place on record a copy of the order<\/p>\n<p>dated 19.5.2009 (Annexure R-1) and copy of order passed by the learned<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner, Ferozepur Division, Ferozepur dated 18.6.2009 (Annexure<\/p>\n<p>R-2). It is further submitted that appeal filed by Dilraj Singh (petitioner<\/p>\n<p>No.1) under Section 13 of the Punjab Land Revenue Act,1887 against the<\/p>\n<p>order dated 24.3.2009 passed by District Collector, Muktsar vide which<\/p>\n<p>permission has been granted to S.D.M, malout for reviewing the pedigree<\/p>\n<p>table prepared in Mutation No. 2560 of village Khudian Gulab Singh,<\/p>\n<p>Tehsil Malout, District Muktsar in which Smt. Simerjit Kaur          d\/o Sh.<\/p>\n<p>Jamiat Singh alias Kartar Singh had been shown as issueless, has been<\/p>\n<p>dismissed by the learned Commissioner, Ferozepur Division, Ferozepur on<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">              CRM-M 15017of 2009 (O&amp;M)                                    4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>18.6.2009. Therefore, the stay which was granted vide Annexure P-3 does<\/p>\n<p>not survive. It is also submitted that Bikramjit Singh son of Jamiat Singh,<\/p>\n<p>Dilraj Singh and Sukhraj Singh sons of Ranjodh Singh had filed civil suit<\/p>\n<p>against Simerjit Kaur, Gurpal Kaur, Parminder Kaur, Pushpinder Kaur,<\/p>\n<p>Amar Partap Singh as well as Basant Kaur widow of Ranjodh Singh to the<\/p>\n<p>effect that consent decree suffered by Jamiat Singh in favour of Simerjit<\/p>\n<p>Kaur be declared null and void, which was decreed by the trial Court in<\/p>\n<p>favour of Bikramjit Singh, Dilraj       Singh and Sukhraj Singh. The said<\/p>\n<p>decision was challenged by Simerjit Kaur by way of appeal No. RT 330<\/p>\n<p>of 23.10.1997\/22.11.1995 which was decided on 12.5.2003 in her favour<\/p>\n<p>holding that Simerjit Kaur is the owner in possession of the suit property<\/p>\n<p>since 5.5.1991 when mutation No. 2105 was attested six months earlier to<\/p>\n<p>the death of deceased Jamiat Singh. The said decision was challenged by<\/p>\n<p>Bikramjit Singh etc.in RSA Nos. 3670 and 3671 of 2003 but the same was<\/p>\n<p>dismissed by this Court on 30.4.2006. Further Special Leave Petition<\/p>\n<p>  filed by Bikramjit Singh and others was also dismissed by the Apex<\/p>\n<p>Court on 31.10.2006.\n<\/p>\n<p>             I have given my thoughtful consideration           to the       rival<\/p>\n<p>contentions raised by learned counsel for the parties.<\/p>\n<p>             It is worthwhile to mention here that co-accused Hardip Singh<\/p>\n<p>in CRM-M 13201 of 2009 made a statement, at the time of sanction of<\/p>\n<p>mutation, that Simerjit Kaur died issueless and attested the pedigree-table.<\/p>\n<p>Similar is the allegation against petitioner No.1 but there is no such<\/p>\n<p>allegation against petitioner No.2. It is also relevant to mention here that the<\/p>\n<p>learned Commissioner while dismissing the        appeal (Annexure R-2) has<\/p>\n<p>observed that &#8216;this order does not directly affect the persons who were<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">              CRM-M 15017of 2009 (O&amp;M)                                  5<\/span><\/p>\n<p>parties to the order to be reviewed, as the rights of the parties are yet to be<\/p>\n<p>determined by the SDM, Malout&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>             This Court at the time of notice of motion and also granting<\/p>\n<p>interim bail has observed that &#8216;no case for custodial interrogation appears<\/p>\n<p>to have been made out&#8217;.\n<\/p>\n<p>             The fact that the petitioners had arrayed Navjot Kaur as a<\/p>\n<p>respondent shows that no concealment was made whereas Navjot Kaur<\/p>\n<p>despite registered   notices and munadi did not appear. As the case is<\/p>\n<p>largely based upon documents and no recovery is to be effected coupled<\/p>\n<p>with the fact that petitioner No.2. is an old man of 68 years having been<\/p>\n<p>born on 04.4.1941 and petitioner No.1 has been attributed same allegations<\/p>\n<p>which are attributed to Hardip Singh, who is already on anticipatory bail<\/p>\n<p>granted by this Court, I deem it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory<\/p>\n<p>bail.\n<\/p>\n<p>             According    to the learned counsel for the petitioners,       the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners have joined the investigation in terms of the order passed by<\/p>\n<p>this Court on 09.6.2009. This fact is admitted by the learned State Counsel.<\/p>\n<p>             In view of the above, order dated 09.6.2009 is made absolute.<\/p>\n<p>The petitioners shall,however, keep on joining the investigation as and<\/p>\n<p>when required and shall abide by the provisions of Sections 438 (2) Cr.P.C.<\/p>\n<p>             This petition stands disposed of.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<pre>Aug 18,2009                                      (Rakesh Kumar Jain)\nRR                                                        Judge\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Dilraj Singh And Another vs State Of Punjab on 18 August, 2009 CRM-M 15017of 2009 (O&amp;M) 1 In the High Court for the States of Punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh.
