Cr.Misc. NO. M 34566 of 2008 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Cr.Misc. NO. M 34566 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION :24.2.2009 Darshan Singh and another ......PETITIONER VERSUS State of Haryana. ......RESPONDENTS PRESENT: Mr.Deepak Aggarwal, Advocate Mr. SS Goripuria, DAG, Hry Mr. Tejinder Pal Singh, Advocate M.M.S.BEDI,J. This order will dispose of two connected petitions filed by Dharam Singh and Smt. Muti Devi, father-in-law and mother-in-law of complainant Pinky (Cr.Misc. M 34566 of 2008) and Kavita and others (Cr.Misc. M 34588 of 2008), sister, brothers and other family members of husband of complainant Kavita. The marriage in this case had taken place on 14.12.2008. The FIR was registered on 15.12.2008. It has been contended that the complainant on 14.12.2008, itself after the dolli expressed her desire to go back to her parental home. The petitioners have joined the investigation. It will certainly be a moot point during trial as to how all the family members of the husband of the complainant were able to treat the complainant with cruelty and misappropriated the dowry articles. Accordingly, the petitions are allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioners, they will be admitted to bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that they will Cr.Misc. NO. M 34566 of 2008 2 appear before the investigating officer as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation at any stage. It has been informed that challan has already been presented. The petitioners seem to have been granted the concession of regular bail on the presumption that the petitioners had been granted the concession of anticipatory bail by this court. The orders passed by the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Panipat on 16.1.2009 show that he treated the interim orders, passed by this court, as order granting anticipatory bail. The said presumption, on the basis of the interim orders, is apparently misconceived. The only relief, which could be granted by the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class was to release the petitioners on interim bail subject to the final order passed by this court. In the interest of justice, taking into consideration the peculiar circumstances of this case, it is ordered that the bail bonds earlier furnished for a sum of Rs.7,000/- each with one surety will be deemed to be for the purpose of interim bail during pendency of this petition till 31.3.2009. The petitioners will be required to furnish fresh bail bonds for a sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the Illaqa Magistrate ( the court before which challan has been presented) on or before 31.3.2009.
