IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM No.M-11769 of 2011 Date of decision:- 28.07.2011 Pardeep Kumar ...Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI Present: Mr. Chanderhas Yadav, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Sushma Chopra, Addl.A.G., Haryana. M.M.S. Bedi, J.(Oral) The petitioner seeks concession of regular bail in a case registered at the instance of his brother-in-law-Anil Kumar after the death of Saroj by consumption of some poisonous substance. She had allegedly committed suicide after having fed up with the habit of the petitioner who was a drunkard and used to tease the deceased. Though the allegations against the petitioner are very serious, but at the same time two factors are in favour of the petitioner for grant of bail to him. Firstly, the FIR was registered 09 days after the death of the deceased and secondly, the deceased had left three minor daughters and one minor son, who are to be looked after by the petitioner. Keeping the petitioner in custody during the pendency of trial will indirectly tentamount to penalising the four minor children. Without expression of any opinion on merits, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurgaon.
