The alleged incident occurred on 01.12.2008. It is alleged that due to harassment on the count of demand of Rs.40,000/- by the applicant for purchase of motorcycle and as the same was not satisfied by the parents of the deceased she committed suicide.

On 01.12.2009, the deceased was admitted in the hospital, as she had consumed some poison. Undisputedly, at the material time, the applicant was not present at the spot of incident. There are allegations that threats were extended by the applicant on phone to the deceased to bring money. Perusal of the charge sheet reveals that no record is collected during the investigation as to whether such calls were made by the applicant or not. In other words, in respect of allegations of threats by the applicant on phone, no investigation appears to be carried out. In {3} the premise, and in view of the fact that the applicant is serving in Central Reserve Police Force, this is a fit case to enlarge the applicant on anticipatory bail for a limited period to enable the applicant to approach the competent court of law for regular bail. 5. In the result, application is allowed. Interim protection granted on 25.01.2010 is hereby confirmed. This protection is granted for a further period of 6 weeks from today within which period the applicant may apply for trial court for regular bail. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/A10/criapln329.10
