Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? ** NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C for enlarging the petitioner on pre-arrest bail in case FIR No.156 dated 29.06.2010 for offences under Sections 498-A, 406, 323 and 506 IPC registered at Police Station Sadar, Jagraon, District Ludhiana Rural. Learned counsel for the respondent/State, on instructions from S.I. Balwant Singh, states that some electronic items like fridge, washing machine, and L.C.D. T.V. are yet to be recovered from the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however, states that the said electronic goods were never given to the petitioner in dowry and in fact, some gold ornaments have already been returned for which, a video Crl. Misc. No.M-20108 of 2010 2 has been prepared. A copy of the said video has also been handed over to the police. Thus, the fact that whether the electronic goods were given in dowry or not and whether gold articles have been returned, is a matter of evidence. It is not disputed by learned counsel for the respondent/State that the petitioner has since joined the investigation. Accordingly, the present petition is allowed and the Order dated 16.07.2010 passed by this Court is made absolute. (NIRMALJIT KAUR) 01.09.2010 JUDGE gurpreet
