Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** AJAY TEWARI, J (Oral) The petitioner seeks grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.79, dated 8.6.2011, registered under Sections 452, 455, 506, 34 of the IPC, at Police Station City Muktsar, District Sri Muktsar Sahib. On 1.8.2011, the following contention was noticed :- “ Counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has been involved in a family dispute where she tried to espouse the just cause of the daughter-in-law of the complainant.” Counsel for the petitioner has further argued that there is three months' delay in lodging of the FIR. Crl.Misc No. 23754 of 2011 : 2 : Counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Bikramjit Singh, has accepted these factual assertions. In these circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of bail to the petitioner. Consequently, the petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 5.9.2011 and on any other day on which the Investigating Officer requires her presence, and in the event of her arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail to his satisfaction subject to the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) August 24, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
