Mr. Raj Karan Singh, Advocate for the complainant. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 24 dated 23.01.2011, under Sections 302, 498-A, 34 IPC registered at Police Station A-Division, Amritsar, District Amritsar. On 08.04.2011 this Court had passed the following order:- “This is an application for pre-arrest bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure incase bearing First Information Report No. 24 dated January 23rd, 2011, under Sections 302, 498-A read with Section 34 of Indian Penal Code, Police Station A-Division, Amritsar, District Amritsar. Petitioner is mother-in-law of Kanchan (deceased). Kanchan was married with Darshan Singh in the year 2000. Two children were born out of the wed lock. She committed suicide on January 22nd, 2011, by consuming poisonous substance which allegedly was given by her husband – Darshan Singh. The only allegation against the petitioner is that she used to harass the deceased on account of demand of dowry. Notice of motion for 10.5.2011. Meanwhile, in the event of arrest, petitioner (Paramjit Kaur) be admitted to bail by Arresting Officer on her furnishing bail bonds to his satisfaction. Petitioner shall abide by the conditions laid down in Section 438(2)(i)(ii) and (iii) of Cr.P.C. Learned DAG, on instructions from ASI Panna Lal, has stated CRM-M No. 10821 of 2011 -2- that the petitioner has joined the investigation and is not required for custodial interrogation. Learned counsel for the complainant though has argued that there are specific allegations. However, keeping in view the facts which were brought out in the order (supra), in my opinion it would not be in the interest of justice to reject this prayer for bail. Consequently order dated 08.04.2011 is made absolute subject to the conditions envisaged in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C., up to the filing of the challan, whereafter the petitioner would be required to seek regular bail. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE May 10, 2011 sunita
