IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-17581 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: June 28, 2010 Arshad Zeeshan Siddiqui .....Petitioner v. U.T. Chandigarh. .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.GBS Dhillon, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.53, dated 17.3.2010, under Sections 406, 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Sector 26, Chandigarh. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Petitioner is husband of the complainant. There are serious allegations of cruelty and harassment on account of dowry against the petitioner-accused. He even raised threat to seek divorce from the complainant and it has been argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that in fact he unilaterally obtained divorce from the complainant. The dowry articles are yet to be recovered. As per the allegations some amount of dowry was paid by father of the complainant even by cheques due to pressure of the present petitioner. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Arshad Zeeshan Siddiqui for grant of anticipatory bail is dismissed being devoid of any merit. 28.6.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
