10.5.2010. The copies of letters given by Phool Chand (transfer letter, Medical letter) are enclosed. Sd/- applicant Rameshwar son of Dayala Ram, resident of village Jafarpur, Tehsil Mulana, District Ambala.” Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has been falsely involved in this case. In fact, the petitioner himself is a victim and had given money to accused Rameshwar Dass, who had further given the same to Phool Chand. After hearing learned counsel for the petitioner, I am of the opinion that no ground for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is made out. The allegations levelled against the petitioner are serious in nature. Several persons have been cheated of their hard earned money on the assurance that they would be provided Government job by the petitioner and his co-accused. The petitioner might be required for custodial interrogation Accordingly, this petition is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE December 14, 2010
