Crl. Rev. No. 2260 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Rev. No. 2260 of 2011 Date of Decision: November 1, 2011 Seema Rani …..Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab and another …..Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Narinder Lucky, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) In a case of attempt to rape by Dilbagh Singh, an application under Section 319 Cr.P.C. was filed by the victim petitioner Seema Rani to summon Meena Rani as an additional accused as said Meena Rani had called the prosecutrix and asked her to bring utensils lying in her room in which the main accused Dilbagh Singh was present. Conspiracy and connivance has been attributed to Meena Rani who happens to be the sister- in-law i.e. Bhabhi of Dilbagh Singh. Crl. Rev. No. 2260 of 2011 [2] The trial Court after considering all the factual circumstances and the relevant law opted to dismiss the application under Section 319 Cr.P.C. observing that the circumstances of the present case do not warrant the exercise of power under Section 319 Cr.P.C. to summon Meena Rani as an additional accused. I do not find any reason to differ with the observations of the trial Court that an attempt is being made to rope in the other family members of the main accused. Even otherwise, the additional accused Meena Rani which is sought to be added as an accused has neither been attributed any intention nor knowledge regarding the act committed by Dilbagh Singh. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the fact that Meena Rani had not come to the rescue of the complainant, would show that she connived with the main accused. I do not find any force in the said contention. No ground is made out for interference in the well reasoned order passed by the trial Court. Dismissed. November 1, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
