SATBIR SINGH Vs. STATE OF HARYANA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) ACCUSED Satbir Singh has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.21 dated 10.08.2010, under Sections 7 and 8 of the Prevention of Corruption Act, registered at Police Station Vigilance Bureau (H), District Gurgaon.

(2.) I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file.

(3.) LEARNED counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that action in the FIR was demanded against Dharamvir and not against the present petitioner. The contention cannot be accepted. It has been specifically mentioned in the FIR that Dharamvir, in the absence of petitioner Sub Divisional Magistrate, issued challans bearing signatures of the petitioner, who had given blank signed challan -book to Dharamvir. These averments in the FIR itself constitute grave offence by the petitioner. He had illegally delegated his power to his official Dharamvir for challenging the overloaded vehicles, if bribe money was not paid.
