Sanjeev Saini vs. State of H.P.
Cr. MP(M) No. 83 of 2024
29.02.2024 Present: Mr. N.S. Chandel, Senior Advocate with
Mr. Vinod Gupta, Advocate, for the petitioner.
Mr. Prashant Sen, Deputy Advocate General, for
the respondent-State.
Heard.
Certified copy of the order dated 18.1.2023,
passed by District Collector, Sirmour at Nahan in Case No.
1/2019, titled State of H.P. Vs. Sanjeev Saini and others would
show that the question whether the bail petitioner is an
agriculturist or not was decided against the petitioner by the
learned Collector after denying his plea that he is an
agriculturist. However, the fact that his grandfather has
purchased the property was not negated. It is submitted that
the matter is pending adjudication before the learned
Divisional Commissioner.
2. The FIR has been lodged on the premise that the
petitioner has misrepresented his status as an agriculturist.
Since this question is pending adjudication before the learned
Divisional Commissioner as well as the fact that the case
against the petitioner is based upon the documents for which
the custodial interrogation is not required, the order dated
8.1.2023 is made absolute.
The petition stands disposed of.
