IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-20870 of 2009 Date of decision : September 22, 2009 Nafe Singh ....Petitioner versus State of Haryana ....Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice L.N. Mittal Present : Mr. GS Sandhu, Advocate, for the petitioner Mr. Sidharth Sarup, AAG Haryana L.N. Mittal, J. (Oral) Nafe Singh has filed this petition for bail in case FIR No. 82 dated 22.2.2009 under section 306 read with section 34 IPC, Police Station Butana, District Karnal. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, petitioner's daughter Meena Devi was married with complainant Jasmer Singh on 3.12.2008. However, after 5/7 days of the marriage, Meena Devi allegedly started quarrelling in the matrimonial home. On 22.2.2009, complainant's father Ram Singh took Meena Devi on motorcycle to drop her at her parental home. Ram Singh was allegedly insulted there at the house of petitioner by Criminal Misc. No. M-20870 of 2009 -2- the petitioner and his co-accused and resultantly Ram Singh consumed poison leading to his death. Learned counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that the petitioner and others were taking Ram Singh to hospital and it would show their bonafide. However, learned State counsel contended that persons from the neighbourhood of the petitioner have made statements that the deceased had been insulted at the house of the petitioner and for this reason, the deceased committed suicide. Moreover, the petitioner has not explained as to what suddenly prompted the petitioner to commit suicide at the place of the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid but without commenting anything on merits, I do not find it to be a fit case for releasing the petitioner on bail. The bail petition is accordingly dismissed. ( L.N.
