CRM-M No. 6991 of 2011 **** Poonam Rani and another vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr.Narinder S. Lucky, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Gazi Mohammad, DAG, Punjab. Mr.P.S.Brar, Advocate, amicus curiae for the complainant. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No.84 dated 11.09.2010, under Sections 323/324/ 452/ 354/380/506/ 34 IPC registered at Police Station Sadar, District Kapurthala. On 07.03.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel for the petitioners states that in the present case there is a dispute between two sisters-in-law and arises out of the fact that they both are in possession of the joint property.” Mr. Brar, who is appearing for the complainant, has very fairly stated that since the dispute is between close relatives, in case the petitioners undertake not to disturb the complainant in the 1½ Marla house, she is stating that she would not oppose the prayer for bail but, however, her articles which were taken away by the petitioners should be got recovered. Learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that as regards the first part, he undertakes that the husband of petitioner No.1 would not disturb the possession of the complainant over 1½ Marla house in which she is staying. However, as regards the allegation of having taken away articles, he states that no such thing had happened. Both the learned counsel have suggested a way out of this impasse by stating that let both the parties appear before the investigating CRM-M No. 6911 of 2011 -2- officer and take a solemn oath in respect of this allegation and both agree to abide by the decision of the investigating officer in this regard. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to confirm the order dated 07.03.2011 and direct petitioner No.1 and the complainant to appear before the investigating officer on 06.05.2011 between 12.00 noon to 4.00 p.m. so as to sort out the issue regarding alleged recovery of articles. Iin the event of arrest of the petitioners, they shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the investigating officer subject to the conditions as envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE April 26, 2011 sunita
