IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M- 14920 of 2011(O&M) Date of Decision: May 31, 2011. Sunita @Sweeti. ...... PETITIONER(s) Versus State of Punjab. ...... RESPONDENT (s) CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. Deepak Arora, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Shilesh Gupta., D.A.G., Punjab. ***** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed for grant of anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Code of Criminal Procedure in FIR No.266 dated 23.10.2010 under Section 392 IPC, Police Station Shahkot, District Jalandhar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that, she alongwith other persons came on the motorcycles on Highway, stopped the CRM No.M-14920 of 2011 complainant and snatched gold ornaments and purse belonging to the complainant. Three of the accused were already arrested and during investigation they disclosed involvement of the present petitioner in the crime. There are allegations that petitioner in disguise of a boy after wearing clothes meant for men, alongwith other co-accused snatched one gold chain, one gold earring, one purse containing gold jewellery and cash from complainant -Sandeep and his wife on Highway. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that she has been falsely implicated in this case and that statement of co-accused cannot be used against the petitioner. On the other hand, bail application has been opposed by learned counsel for the respondent-State on the plea that serious offence has been committed by the petitioner and that she is also involved in another case under Section 392 IPC. Hence, in view of these facts, I am of the view that it is not a fit case in which extra-ordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to petitioner-accused. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present anticipatory bail application filed on behalf of Sunita @Sweeti is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of merit.
