Crl. Misc. No. M-33843 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-33843 of 2011 Date of Decision : November 30, 2011 Dharam Pal .... Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Jarnail Singh Saneta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Anil Kumar, DAG, Haryana. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Dharam Pal has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 248 dated 10.09.2011, under Sections 323, 406, 498-A and 506 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Pehowa, District Kurukshetra. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Petitioner is husband of the complainant. He had allegedly been beating the complainant and demanding more dowry i.e. Rs.50,000/- Crl. Misc. No. M-33843 of 2011 2 and motorcycle and had been harassing the complainant for the same. The complainant was turned out of the matrimonial home, while she was pregnant. Compromise was effected twice, but still the harassment continued. The complainant even filed a petition under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and direction was issued to take back the complainant to the matrimonial home, but after some days, she was again turned out of the matrimonial home. There are serious allegations against the petitioner, who is the only accused in the case. He is the husband of the complainant. The complainant tried many times to settle with the petitioner, but still she has not been rehabilitated in the matrimonial home. Keeping in view all the circumstances, but without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the considered opinion that the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Dismissed. November 30, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
