State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Sudhir Pruthi, 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.134, dated 19.6.2010, under Sections 406, 498-A, 323, 506 IPC, registered at Police Station Chandimandir, District Panchkula. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Applicant-petitioner is husband of the complainant. Marriage was performed on 23.11.2008. As per allegations, the petitioner and his family members were not satisfied with the dowry given by the parents of the complainant and hence, they started harassing her. There are specific allegations of harassment and cruelty on account of dowry against the petitioner. There are allegations of even beatings given by the petitioner and other family members to the complainant. Complainant alongwith her minor child was turned out of matrimonial home. Dowry articles are yet to be recovered. 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- Crl.M.No.M-20397 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Prince Gupta for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 19.7.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
