Rajesh Bindal J. While issuing notice of motion, following contentions of learned counsel for the petitioner were noticed: “Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that it is a case in which the prosecutrix had solemnised the marriage with Amit Anand against the wishes of her family members. Admittedly, she was 22 years of age. The petitioner has been named in the FIR alleging that he was accompanying Amit Anand when the prosecutrix was taken from her home. The couple had, in fact, approached Punjab State Human Rights Commission on 5.5.2011 seeking protection, as they were apprehending threat to their life and liberty on account of the prosecutrix having married against the wishes of her parents. Even in the statement of the prosecutrix recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., she had admitted that she had moved to different places within a period of one month and six days, she remained away from home, and ultimately she was found living with Amit Anand. Amit Anand has been arrested and is in custody.” Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from Head Criminal Misc.-M No. 21673 of 2011 [2] Constable-Jagir Singh, submitted that the petitioner has joined investigation and his custodial interrogation is not required. Considering the aforesaid facts, the interim bail granted to the petitioner on 1.9.2011 is made absolute. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 4.10.2011 mk
