Prem Lata has applied for grant of anticipatory bail in FIR No. 112 dated 20.05.2008 under Sections 306/120-B IPC registered at Police Station City Mansa. As per allegations of the prosecution, Sanju Rani had relations with Muneet Kumar. They were meeting in the house of K.K.Goel with the connivance of petitioner. K.K.Goel and his wife CRM NO.

Manju Rani was threatened by the petitioner and her husband and therefore, Sanju Rani committed suicide on 05.09.2004. It is further alleged that after the death of Sanju Rani, K.K.Goel, Prem Lalta and Vijay Jain asked Muneet Kumar to arrange for Rs.2-3 lacs as Sanju Rani has committed suicide because of him and they will get the case closed by approaching the SSP. Father of Muneet Kumar arranged Rs.2 lacs and gave the same to Muneet Kumar. Thereafter, Muneet kumar was blackmailed by K.K.Goel, petitioner and Vijay Jain for demanding more money and on account of consistent demand, he also committed suicide. In this case, cancellation report was submitted by the trial Court which was not accepted but the prosecution has relied upon the suicide note and the opinion of the expert is that no definite opinion can be given. Vijay Jain has been allowed the concession of bail vide order dated 28.03.2011 passed by Sessions Judge, Mansa (Annexure P-5). Learned State counsel, on instructions from SI Sher Singh, has stated at the bar that no further evidence has been collected in this regard. The challan is stated to be presented in the Court. So, I am of the view that the petitioner is entitled to bail on the grounds of parity. Therefore, the petition for CRM NO. M-12660 OF 2011 (O&M) -3- anticipatory bail stands accepted. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of trial Court. Disposed of. MAY 13, 2011 (K. C. PURI) shalini JUDGE
