State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Maharaj Kumar, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. J. S. Brar, Assistant Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of regular bail to the petitioner, who is in custody since 22.11.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that if the allegations in the FIR are considered, no case for abetment of suicide is made out. In fact, the deceased was not legally married with the petitioner. She was already a divorcee. She was living with the petitioner along with one of her children in living relations. At the most, it could be said to be some matrimonial dispute even if it is considered that she was legally married with the petitioner. There was no instigation to commit suicide. Learned counsel for the State submitted that the offence being heinous, where the deceased was compelled to commit suicide on account of harassment by the petitioner, he does not deserve concession of bail. He further submitted that after presentation of challan, statement of the complainant has been recorded. Criminal Misc.-M No. 22797 of 2011 [2] After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the submissions made above, in my opinion, the petitioner deserves concession of bail pending trial. He is directed to be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Patiala. The petition stands disposed of. (Rajesh Bindal) Judge 28.9.2011 mk
