(Oral) Ramesh Kumar has filed this petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 127 dated 4.6.2009, under sections 406, 498-A, 506 read with section 34 IPC, Police Station Dinanagar, District Gurdaspur. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. Petitioner is husband of complainant Rekha Rani. There are specific allegations that some time after the marriage trouble started to the complainant. Petitioner alongwith his elder brother and father had been abusing and beating the complainant for insufficient dowry. There is also specific allegation that the petitioner on 14.1.2008 gave beating to the Criminal Misc. No. M-18479 of 2009 -2- complainant after consuming liquor. Dowry articles are also said to have been mis-appropriated. Without meaning to express any opinion on the merits, I do not find it to be a fit case for granting concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Dismissed. ( L.N.
