Pheruman, Advocate, for the petitioners. 1.Whether Reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? 2.Whether to be referred to the Reporters or not? 3.Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest? ***** ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) This is an application seeking regular bail in case FIR No.101 dated 29.8.2010 under Sections 302/201/34 IPC, Police Station Majitha, District Amritsar, Punjab. Accused No.1 is a police personnel of Punjab Police. Facts reveal that deceased Sukhdeep Kaur's husband was facing trial for an offence punishable under Section 302 IPC and was lodged in Central Jail, Amritsar, as undertrial. Kashmir Singh – accused No.1 – had developed illicit relations with Sukhdeep Kaur deceased on the false promise that he will help her husband getting out from the jail. As per prosecution story, accused No.1 on 16.8.2010 has called Sukhdeep Kaur deceased through his phone and Sukhdeep Kaur left the house to meet accused persons. Thereafter she was found dead on 19.8.2010. She was cremated being unidentified body. On CRM No. M-15680 of 2011 (O&M) -2- 20.8.2010 Sukhdeep Kaur was identified by her father from her clothes and photographs. During investigation Kashmir Singh got recovered one car used by them for killing Sukhdeep Kaur and from that car, one lady purse and pass book of Punjab Gramin Bank with photograph of Sukhdeep Kaur were recovered. Not only this, the police got details of the calls made by accused Kashmir Singh on the day of occurrence to the accused at about 12.21 p.m. As per the call details accused/petitioner No.1 has also made call to accused No.2 at 12.49 p.m. As per the father of the deceased, accused/petitioner has called Sukhdeep Kaur on her phone on 16.8.2010 and asked her to meet him which stands corroborated from the calls details of accused/petitioner No.1. There is extra-judicial confession made by both the petitioners to one Parkash Singh. Accused/petitioner No.1 is police personnel and petitioner No.2 is his friend and co-accused. Both of them can tamper with the evidence and can influence the witnesses. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Dismissed. (Alok Singh) Judge May 24, 2011 R.S.
