State of Punjab. .....................Respondents Coram: Hon'ble Mr.Justice Jaswant Singh Present: Mr.Rajesh Bhateja,Advocate for the petitioner. Jaswant Singh.J.(Oral) Prayer under Section 438 Cr.PC is for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.99 dated 20.10.2010 under Section 306 IPC, PS Mehna,Tehsil and Distt.Moga. It is stated that petitioner-accused Gurdip Kumar is the youngest brother of late Ram Pal Vohra, who had died around six months prior to the date of occurrence. As per allegation in the FIR lodged by the Gagandeep Vohra son of Late Ram Pal Vohra (nephew of the petitioner accused), aged about 15 years, the complainant was present at the Kiryana shop being run by his mother (since deceased) on the date of occurrence, when his uncle Gurdeep Singh-petitioner who is also running an adjacent kiryana shop started to obstruct the functioning of the shop owned by his mother. Petitioner is alleged to have used filthy and undesirable language provoking his mother (since deceased) to pour petrol on herself and setting herself ablaze in front of the shop of the petitioner while stating that in view of his (petitioner's) daily harassment and insinuation after the death of her husband late Ram Pal Vohra, she is in despair and unable to bear the insult and is going to commit suicide. It has also been alleged that petitioner used to pick up quarrels with the deceased mother on trivial things and used to harass her by using undesirable language and making her life miserable. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that from the contents of the FIR no offence of abetment is made out. It is further submitted that parties have effected a compromise and therefore prays for grant of anticipatory bail. After hearing the learned counsel and keeping in view the allegations contained in the FIR, it is evident that the petitioner's conduct was abhorrent which led to the commission of suicide by the deceased Rajni in a gruesome manner. Keeping in view the manner and gravity of the offence, no case for grant of anticipatory bail is made out. Dismissed. 1.12.2010 (Jaswant Singh) joshi Judge
