Crl. Misc. No. M-26625 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-26625 of 2011 Date of Decision: 20.10.2011 Amarjit Kaur and another ... Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI Present: Mr. Avtar S. Khinda, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. J.S. Brar, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. Mr. Amit Dhawan, Advocate, for the complainant. * * * * M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The petitioners seek concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Gurbachan Lal alleging that his daughter Balwinder Kaur had committed suicide by consuming poison having been fed up with the character assassination by the petitioners. Petitioner No. 1 is the sister-in-law (Jethani) of the deceased, whereas, petitioner No. 2 is the brother-in-law (Jeth). During the course of investigation, petitioner No. 2 has been found to be innocent. In view of this his application can be allowed. It is ordered that in case petitioner No. 2 is required even at any subsequent stage as Crl. Misc. No. M-26625 of 2011 -2- an accused in the present case, he will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer. So far as petitioner No. 1 is concerned, she has been found to have been taunting the deceased for having a bad character. It appears that the investigation is at initial stage. The circumstances may warrant the grant of regular bail to petitioner No. 1. But no extra- ordinary exceptional circumstances exist at this stage to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail as it will be premature to form an opinion whether the act of petitioner No. 1 would fall within the definition of instigation or intentional aiding of the commission of act of suicide by the deceased. Dismissed without prejudice to the right of petitioner No. 1 to seek the concession of regular bail in accordance with law. Disposed of. 20.10.2011 (M.M.S. BEDI) Amodh JUDGE
