Crl.M.No.M-31165 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-31165 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision:October 25, 2010 Ishwar Singh and another .....Petitioners v. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Arvind Singh, Advocate for the petitioners. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.55625 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-31165 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case FIR No.218, dated 5.6.2010, under Sections 302 and 201 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Thanesar, District Kurukshetra. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the order passed by learned Sessions Judge, Kurukshetra, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioners for anticipatory bail was dismissed. The present case was registered in connection with murder of two young children, namely, Princy seven years old and Ashu four years old, who were grand children of present petitioners. Co-accused Santosh Kumar is father of deceased children and son of present petitioners. Complainant is mother of deceased children and daughter-in-law of the present petitioners. As per allegations dead-body of both the children were recovered from the bathroom of house of present petitioners from a tub full Crl.M.No.M-31165 of 2010 (O&M) -2- of water and bathroom was found locked from outside and even present petitioners had refused to hand over the keys of the lock of the bathroom to the complainant. Lock was broken open and then the dead-bodies were recovered. Cause of death was found to be drowning. Motive for the offence was that there was some dispute regarding property which was sold by father-in-law of the complainant to her and however, later on, she was being pressurized to transfer the same in favour of petitioner no.1-Iswar Singh. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that as per extra judicial confession by co-accused, the murder of children was committed by him. Further contends that petitioners are old persons and they were found innocent by the police and summoned to face trial, on an application filed by the prosecution under Section 319 Cr.P.C., by learned trial Court. Allegations against the petitioners-accused are very serious in nature. It is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners-accused. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioners- Ishwar Singh and Rajni for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 25.10.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
