Crl.M.No.M-14604 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-14604 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: May 18, 2010 Jasvinder Kaur alias Usha .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.TPS Tung, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.20, dated 7.2.2009, under Sections 420, 406 IPC and Section 24 of the Immigration Act, registered at Police Station Bholath, District Kapurthala. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against petitioner-accused are that she alongwith her husband used to work as travel agent and that on their inducement complainant delivered Rs.5,50,000/- to petitioner and her husband on the promise of sending his son to France. The total deal was struck for Rs.8 lacs. However, as per allegations, son of complainant was sent to South Africa, where he was kept illegally for six months and thereafter, complainant brought him back after spending Rs.50,000/-. Petitioner and her husband even entered into an agreement with the complainant to return the amount and, however, did not return the same. Allegations against the petitioner-accused are serious in nature. Crl.M.No.M-14604 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Jasvinder Kaur alias Usha for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed being devoid of any merit. 18.5.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
