IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-54513 of 2007 (O&M) Date of Decision:06.05.2008 Raj Singh .....Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present:- Mr. Gaurav Mohunta, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Ajay Ghengas, DAG, Haryana. **** RAJESH BINDAL J. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is an unmarried brother-in-law (brother of the husband) of the deceased. The allegations in the FIR are that at PGI, Rohtak, the deceased in the presence of her parents had pointed out her hands towards the accused named in the FIR in the gestural form. In the FIR, mother-in-law, husband, two brother- in-law and one sister-in-law were arrayed as co-accused. Challan was presented against mother-in-law, father-in-law and one brother-in-law, namely, the petitioner. The other brother-in-law and his wife were found to be innocent. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that statement in the FIR is that the deceased had pointed finger towards the petitioner in the gestural form while in PGI Rohtak is falsified from the fact that she was never admitted in the PGI as is verified by the Medical Record Officer which shows there was no entry in the name of Deepa wife of Vijay Singh. Once she was not admitted in the hospital, no question of her pointing finger in the gestural form against the petitioner arises. The petitioner is in custody since 8.7.2007. The mother-in-law and the husband are also in custody. The trial is going to take some time. Be that as it may, without opining on the merits of the controversy, pending trial, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/ Duty Magistrate, Bhiwani. The petition is disposed of. May 06, 2008 ( RAJESH BINDAL ) renu JUDGE
