Crl. Misc No. M 37779 OF 2010 ****** Deepak @ Deepa and another vs State of Punjab Present : Mr. JBS Gill, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. U.S.Dhaliwal, Addl. A.G Punjab ******* The petitioners seek grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.36, dated 23.2.2009, registered under Sections 363, 366, 376, 506 of the IPC, at Police Station Tanda, District Hoshiarpur. Counsel for the petitioners has argued that the fact of the matter is that the prosecutrix eloped with the main accused with her own free will and the petitioners had neither accompanied them nor played any role in their departure. These facts have not been denied by counsel for the respondent, on instructions from ASI Ajmer Singh. In the circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Consequently, the petitioners shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction, subject to their appearance before him on 8.3.2011 between 10 am to 5 pm and on any subsequent date which may be required, and compliance of the conditions contained in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) February 21, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
