Vijender Singh Malik, J.:-- This is the fifth petition for pre-arrest bail brought under the provisions of section 438 Cr.P.C. by the petitioner Surjit Singh, in a case registered by way of FIR No. 382 dated 24.08.2011 at Police Station Sector 34, Chandigarh, for an offence punishable under sections 420 and 120-B IPC. 2. The previous petition brought by the petitioner and his brother Narinder Singh bearing No.M-35129 of 2011 was dismissed on merits on 20.03.2012. 3. In the name of changed fact situation, learned counsel for the petitioner has made two fold submission. According to him, Narinder Singh, co-accused of the petitioner has been arrested by the police in this case and secondly the petitioner had filed a civil suit in which the defendants have been proceeded against ex-parte. 4. In my opinion, none of the aforesaid circumstances provides change fact situation for entertaining the petition for anticipatory bail. This is a case which clearly appears to be gross abuse of the process of the court where the police also appears to be sleeping. 5. Keeping in view the aforesaid circumstances, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Consequently, the petition is dismissed.
