(ORAL) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C for grant of pre-arrest bail in case FIR No.75 dated 30.03.2010 under Sections 307/304-B/498-A/120-B and 149 IPC registered at Police Station City Mansa. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the petitioner is not the relative of the complainant and, therefore, he cannot be enroped under Section 304-B IPC. It is further submitted that the petitioner's role is only in the first part of the FIR but has no role to play in the second part of the FIR. The petitioner is specifically named in the statement made by Kamaldeep Kaur stating therein that she was being regularly harassed on account of dowry. Her in-laws were being instigated by Darshan Singh i.e. the present petitioner. In the FIR, she has referred to the petitioner as her Crl. Misc. No.M-15796 of 2010 2 `chacha'. Kamaldeep Kaur subsequently succumbed to her injuries and the said statement recorded by the police has been treated as dying declaration. In view of the specific allegations against the petitioner in the dying declaration of the deceased, no concession of anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner. Dismissed.
