CRM No. M-20191 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-20191 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 5.8.2009 Sarabjit Kaur ...Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Gautam Dutt, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Sections 302, 120-B read with Section 34 IPC at Police Station Sherpur, District Barnala, vide FIR No.66 dated 6.8.2008. The allegation against the petitioner is that the deceased was murdered by Gurangadpal Singh at the instance of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the instant case is a case of blind murder and there is no evidence on record to connect the petitioner with the crime. According to the counsel, the extra-judicial confession allegedly made by the petitioner before her sister's husband was totally unreliable. On the other hand, petitioner had been implicated with a view to grab her property. This apart, the petitioner has been in custody for almost one year and trial has not made CRM No. M-20191 of 2009 2 much headway. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The allegation against the petitioner is that she had illicit relations with one Gurangadpal Singh, who killed Gurmail Singh, husband of the petitioner. It is alleged that said Gurangadpal Singh, who is paramour of the petitioner, killed her husband at her instance. There is allegation of direct involvement of the petitioner in the commission of crime. Keeping in view the nature of crime, circumstances of the case and motive alleged, the petitioner is not entitled to be enlarged on bail. As regards arguments of the counsel about weak nature of evidence against the petitioner, same is to be decided during the course of trial. I thus find no merit in this petition. The same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE August 05, 2009 'rajpal'
