released on bail and he furnished personal bonds as well the surety bonds

on 13.03.2022. One person namely Mekhu Lal S/o Budhu Singh, R/o

Village Ladowal Stood surety for accused Gurpreet Singh @ Gopi above-

mentioned. But when accused Gurpreet Singh @ Gopi became absent,

notice was sent to the surety and then one Maiku Lal Son of Budhu

Resident of Village Laddowal came present and stated that he has been

Impersonated and his documents have been forged and fake Adhar Card

was presented in his name. The photo of the surety on the surety bonds is

not that of him. So it seems that actual Maiku Lal, Son of Budhu, Resident

of Village Laddowal has not stood surety for accused Gurpreet Singh @

Gopi and someone has forged the documents and has impersonated him.

So you are directed to inquire into the matter and take necessary action in

the matter against fake sureties under intimation to this Court. Sd/-Shiv
