UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following
O R D E R
The High Court in the impugned order, inter alia, recorded as under:
“Without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, the petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail, on his furnishing bank guarantee of 20 lacs and surety of moveable property of 20 lacs, to the satisfaction of trial Court/Duty Magistrate, Tarn Taran. The petitioner is directed to furnish heavy surety for the reason that brother of petitioner is already absconding and there is likelihood of absconding of the Signature Not Verified petitioner as stated by learned State counsel assisted by learned counsel for the complainant.” Digitally signed by Parveen Kumar Chawla Date: 2015.07.27 16:49:11 IST Reason: It is the submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner, that the surety of moveable property of twenty lacs be 2 converted into surety of immovable property of twenty lacs, as it is impossible for the petitioner to furnish surety of moveable property, as directed by the High Court.
We find justification in the contention advanced at the hands of the learned counsel for the petitioner. We accept the prayer made by the learned counsel and order, that the petitioner shall be released on bail on his furnishing bank guarantee of twenty lacs, and surety of immoveable property of twenty lacs, to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
The instant petition stands disposed of in the aforesaid terms.
