AFFIDAVIT OF URGENCY

I Amrik Singh son of late Kandhara Singh, aged about 50 years, resident
of Nandgarh Police Station Goohla Distt. Kaithal, Punjab, Now presrnt at
New Delhi, do hereby solemnly declare and state as under:

5. That I have gone through the contents of the accompanying Special

Leave Petition and state that the same are true and correct to the best of
my knowledge and belief,

6. That I one of the Petitioner in the above matter and am well

conversant with the facts of the case and, therefore,
competent to sear the present Affidavit in support of the
accompanying Special Leave Petition.

2. That an FIR No.579 dated 18.7.2000 was registered at Police

Station Sadar, District Patiala, Punjab under Section
379/406/409/420 IPC and Section 7 of the Essential
Commodities Act, 1955 at the instance of the District
Manager, Punjab State Cooperative Supply and Marketing
Federation, Patiala (MARKFED, for short). It was alleged in
the FIR that MARKFED had procured paddy during the year
1999-2000 crop year in accordance with the Paddy Milling
Policy.
3. The Superintendent of Police (Operations) Patiala
investigated the matter and in his report dated 4.10.2000
fully recorded the facts and statements of witnesses and
after holding a detailed enquiry, in his investigation report
directed, inter alia, Police Station, Sadar, Patiala to
investigate the matter after taking into consideration the
abovesaid facts and after arresting the accused, the case
may be recovered and challan may be presented against the
present accused.
4. The Application for Anticipatory Bail filed by the Petitioner
under Section 438, Cr.P.C. before the Additional Sessions
Judge, Patiala was dismissed vide order dated 11 th August,
2000 on the ground that the allegations against the
Petitioner were of serious nature and the investigation was
still going on. It is submitted that the learned ADS Judge
did not apply her mind at all to the facts and circumstances
of the case in totality.
5. Feeling aggrieved by the aforesaid order of the learned
Additional District & Sessions Judge, Patiala, the Petitioner
thereafter on 10th October, 2000 preferred a Petition under
Section 438, Cr.P.C. before the Hon’ble High of Punjab and
Haryana at Chandigarh.
6. It is significant to mention here that the MARKFED referred
the present dispute to the Arbitrator and lodged the claim
on 27.11.2000 as per the Arbitration clause before Shri
Kanwar Gulwant Singh, IAS (retired.) where the Petitioner
had also filed his written Statement and now the reference
is fixed for 1st June, 2001 for filing of Rejoinder and
Affidavit. In the claim, the allegation/version of MARKFED
is quite different from the one mentioned in the FIR. It is
further worth mentioning that the said Application has been
later on sought to be withdrawn by the MARKFED on their
own.
7. The Senior Superintendent of Police, Patiala passed an
order dated 19th January, 2001 on the aforesaid
investigation Report stating that 161, Cr.P.C. Statement be
recorded and legal requirements be complied with. It was
also directed that wherever statements are required under
Section 164 Cr.P.C., they be recorded.
8. Mr. H.S. Bains filed an Affidavit dated 6 th March, 2001 in the
Crl. Misc. No. of 2000 filed by the Petitioner before the
Hon’ble Court through his Advocate. Even though he was
not a party to the Petition filed by the Petitioner the Affidavit
was taken on record by the Hon’ble Court and is part of the
proceedings.
9. The Hon’ble High Court by its Judgment and Order dated 8th
May, 2001 has rejected the Petition of the Petitioner for
Anticipatory Bail. The Hon’ble High Court in the impugned
judgment and order, however, took notice of the findingof the
Superintendent of Police (Operations), Patiala that not only
the Petitioner but even the Complainant, viz., H.S. Bains,
District Manager, MARKFED and Shri Ravinder Narain
Sharma, Field Officer of MARKFED were also involved in
misappropriation of the said paddy. It is submitted that
notices were directed to be issued to these officers of the
Respondents who were directed to appear before the Hon’ble
High Court in person.

10. That in the light of the facts and circumstances narrated

above, the present Petition is of urgent nature. The
Deponent herein submits that in the event of the present
Petition being not listed during vacation, the purpose of filing
the present Petition along with Application for Bail will be
frustrated inasmuch as the time prescribed for filing an
Appeal before this Hon’ble Court against the impugned
judgment and order would expire, immediately upon which,
it is apprehended, the Petitioner would be arrested by the
police authority in pursuance of the FIR No.238 of 18.12.
1994 in which investigation is going on.

11. That the Petitioners is filing along with the accompanying

Special Leave Petition an Application for Bail praying for a
direction that the Petitioner be immediately released on bail
in the event of his arrest in connection with FIR No.238 of
 18.12. 1994 lodged with Police Station Kotwali Barnala ,
District Sangrur Punjab .
