IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No.M-34430 of 2009 Date of decision:22.12.2009. Harjit Singh alias Rinku ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and others ...Respondents **** CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE S. D. ANAND Present: Mr. G.S.Toor, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Arshvinder Singh, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab S. D. ANAND, J. It is presently beyond the pale of controversy that wife of the petitioner, who is confined in SubJail, Barnala following his indictment for an offence under Section 489-C IPC, is quick with the child and expected date of delivery is in January, 2010. By the very nature of things, availability of her husband would be a source of great emotional support for his wife at the time of delivery. A person convicted of a charge does not cease to be a normal human being insofar as emotional support viz-a- viz his spouse and progeny is concerned. In the light of foregoing discussion, the plea raised by the petitioner for the grant of interim bail shall stand allowed. The duration of interim bail shall be for a period of one month and he would be release on 1.1.2010. The learned Trial Magistrate/successor thereof/Duty Magistrate would ensure that the the sureties furnished are local and financially sound. Disposed of accordingly. December 22, 2009 (S. D. ANAND) Pka JUDGE
