2024 (2) TMI 558 - PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURTSeeking grant of anticipatory bail - allegation against the petitioner is that he in connivance with co-accused namely Arshdeep Singh and Ravinder Kumar, who were allegedly the thugs, he introduced the complainant to CA Arshdeep Singh and in return, he got a cut of Rs. 30,000/- which he had showed as a professional fee - HELD THAT:- It remains undisputed that the petitioner had received Rs. 30,000/-. This Court has refrained from commenting further because all accused are not parties before this Court in the present case, and any observation would cause severe prejudice against them. Unfortunately, some professions in our country have become highly unethical, and the practitioners accept cuts for referring the work instead of referring the matters on a reciprocal basis or ethical or professional grounds. Although with a heavy heart, this Court cannot ignore the existence of such unethical practices, which are widely prevalent in many professions, including some of the unethical Chartered Accountants. There would be no justification for the petitioner for pre-trial incarceration and custodial interrogation subject to the condition that the petitioner shall fully cooperate for recovery of Rs. 30,000/-. Petitioner is directed to cooperate in the investigation for recovery of Rs. 30,000/- within 15 days. On failure to do so, the concerned Superintendent of Police shall apply for cancellation of bail, and bail would be cancelled on this ground alone. It is further clarified that the above observations are only to decide the present bail petition and for no other purpose. Petition allowed.
