RESPONDENT CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr. R.S.Cheema, Sr.Advocate with Mr. R.K.Trikha, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. *** RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed by Daljit Singh for anticipatory bail under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. in FIR No.323 dated 12.12.2009 under Sections 406/498-A IPC registered at P.S. Sadar, Jalandhar. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record. This Court while issuing notice of motion on 28.01.2010 passed the following order:- “Argues that petitioner was two times’ divorcee and complainant-wife was also one time divorcee at the time of marriage of the parties and that there was no question of any dowry being received by the petitioner. Crl.Misc.No.M-2378 of 2010 Notice of motion for 02.03.2010. However, in the meantime, if the petitioner is arrested, he shall be released on interim bail by the Arresting Officer to his satisfaction subject to the conditions contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.” It has been stated by ld. Senior counsel for the petitioner that petitioner has already joined the investigation in pursuance of said order dated 28.01.2010 and that he is no more required for any interrogation. It has also been stated by ld. counsel for the State, on instruction from ASI.Amarjit Singh, that petitioner has joined the investigation and that he is no more required for any custodial interrogation. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the anticipatory bail application filed by Daljit Singh is accepted and interim order dated 28.01.2010, is hereby confirmed subject to compliance of conditions laid down in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The present petition stands disposed of accordingly. ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) March 2, 2010. JUDGE 'om' 2
