On 25.8.2010, the following contentions were noticed :- “ Contends that only general allegations have been levelled in the FIR against the petitioners (father-in-law and mother-in-law). He further submits that the petitioners are willing to amicably settle the dispute.” Counsel for the State of Punjab, on instructions from ASI Harbans Singh, states that the petitioners have joined the investigation and necessary recoveries have also been made. Counsel for the petitioners has argued that admittedly, parties to the marriage did not stay with the petitioners except for a short time immediately after the marriage and thereafter they lived separately. As per the learned counsel, since all recoveries have been made, custodial interrogation of the petitioners would not be necessary. Counsel for the complainant, however, states that despite best efforts of the mediation cell of this Court, the husband of the complainant who is the son of the petitioners is still threatening the complainant. Crl.M No. M 24724 of 2010 : 2 : Be that as it may, in my opinion the present is a case where the concession of anticipatory bail should be extended to the petitioners. Consequently, in the event of their arrest, the petitioners shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) May 13, 2011. JUDGE `kk'
