Crl. Misc. No. M-32741 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-32741 of 2011 Date of Decision : November 23, 2011 Sonia @ Jasbir Kaur .... Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Vijay Rana, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Accused Sonia @ Jasbir Kaur has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 91 dated 23.09.2011, under Sections 306 and 120-B of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Daba, Tehsil and District Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. According to the prosecution version, the petitioner was having illicit relationship with husband of the deceased and was residing as his Crl. Misc. No. M-32741 of 2011 2 mistress and also gave birth to a son from the loins of husband of the deceased. In the suicide note, the deceased has named the petitioner as well being responsible for commission of suicide by the deceased. Counsel for the petitioner vehemently contended that in birth certificate of the child, the deceased has been mentioned as mother of the newly born child. However, the contention cannot be accepted at this stage because the birth entry might have been got made by the husband of the deceased. On the other hand, according to the prosecution version, the deceased was issueless and that is why, she was being tortured. The petitioner has been repeatedly named in the suicide note. Keeping in view the serious allegations against the petitioner, the question of extending extra ordinary concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case of serious offence under Section 306 IPC does not arise. Dismissed, without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case. November 23, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
