Crl.M.No.M-14045 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-14045 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: May 13, 2010 Inder Pal Singh .....Petitioner v. The State of Union Territory, Chandigarh ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.H.S.Bhullar, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.129, dated 17.4.2010, under Sections 406/498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sector 34, Chandigarh. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Petitioner is husband of the complainant. A perusal of the FIR shows that there are specific allegations of acts of cruelty inflicted upon the complainant by her in-laws on account of dowry. Even she made statement in the Court on 27.2.2010 that she is ready and willing to accompany her husband to her matrimonial home, despite all the odds. Dowry articles are yet to be recovered. This is stated to be the second marriage of the petitioner with the complainant. It has also been averred that marriage has not been consummated. Hence in view of these facts, I am of the view that it is not such Crl.M.No.M-14045 of 2010 (O&M) -2- a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner, who is the main accused being husband. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Inder Pal Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed being devoid of any merit. 13.5.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
