assured that the petitioner will repay the loan amount within three weeks

from the date of his release, by selling his property which has not been

mortgaged with any Bank or any person. Learned counsel has further

submitted that the applications seeking interim bail in two other cases are

still pending.

The fact that the mother of the petitioner suffers from heart

problem and requires immediate operation has not been disputed by the

learned counsel for the respondent as the same has been got verified by the

CBI officials from PGI Chandigarh. However, the learned counsel has

opposed the petition.

Accordingly, it would be in the interest of justice to allow

interim bail to the petitioner who is in custody since 6.2.2009 to enable him

to get his mother operated.

Hence, this petition is allowed. Petitioner be admitted to

interim bail for three weeks' subject to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial

Magistrate, Chandigarh. Petitioner is directed to surrender before the Chief

Judicial Magistrate after the expiry of the interim bail i.e. three weeks from

the date of his release.
