Criminal Misc. No. M-21550 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-21550 of 2009 Date of decision: December 11, 2009 Kulwinder Kaur -Petitioner Versus State of Punjab -Respondent Coram Hon'ble Mr. Justice Rajan Gupta Present: Mr. AS Kalra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. AS Jattana, Addl. AG, Punjab. Rajan Gupta, J.(Oral) This is a petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case FIR No. 174 dated 24.6.2009 registered against the petitioner under Section 306 IPC at police station Rajpura City. Mr. Kalra has argued that from the suicide note Annexure P3 no case of abetment is made out against the petitioner. According to counsel, the entire basis of the prosecution case is letter Annexure P3, allegedly written by the deceased before committing suicide. He further submits that a perusal of the same would show that no overt act has been attributed to the petitioner. Counsel thus prays that the petitioner deserves to be enlarged on bail during pendency of the trial. Learned State counsel opposes the prayer for bail on the ground that the allegations against the petitioner are serious. I have heard learned counsel for the parties. Without expressing any opinion on merits of the case at this Criminal Misc. No. M-21550 of 2009 2 stage and keeping in view the fact that challan has already been presented in the case and the trial is still at its initial stage, I feel that no useful purpose would be served by detaining the petitioner in custody during pendency of trial. Accordingly the instant petition is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana.
