IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 15218 M of 2010 Date of decision:29.7.2010 Lucky Arneja@ Charanpreet Singh Petitioner vs. State of Punjab Respondent Present: Mr. Ads Sukhija, Advocate. Mr. PS Bajwa, DAG, Pb Mr. JS Mehndiratta, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case, registered at the instance of Sarup Singh, father of Gurpreet Kaur alleging that his daughter has been maltreated by the petitioner on account of demand of dowry. Admittedly, the petitioner had married Gurpreet Kaur about 17 years back and his sister Devinder Kaur is married to the son of complainant,namely, Gurvinderpal Singh (also brother-in-law of the petitioner). There appears to be a matrimonial dispute between Devinder Kaur and Gurvinder Pal Singh. The complaint seems to have been filed by the complainant to settle other scores. On the asking of the court, counsel for the complainant has submitted that there are chances of amicable settlement and efforts are put in by the various respectables to get the matter sorted out. Without expression of any opinion on merits of the case, it is sufficient to observe that it does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation as the petitioner has already joined the investigation. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and interim order dated 26.5.2010 is hereby confirmed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, he will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that the petitioner will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation.
