CRM-M No.30326 of 2011(O&M) ::1:: IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M No.30326 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision : 15.11.2011 Jaswant Singh and another ...... Petitioners v. State of Punjab ...... Respondent *** CORAM : HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI *** Present : Mr. Bipan Ghai, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Mandeep Kaushik, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. Mr. Anil Chaudhary, Advocate for the complainant. *** AJAY TEWARI, J. (Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case F.I.R. No.148 dated 13.09.2011 registered under Sections 498-A, 120-B IPC at P. S. Sadar, Sangrur. On 04.10.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel for the petitioners states that the petitioners are the parents-in-law and parties to the marriage are ordinarily residents of Canada and they are very keen that this dispute between their son and his wife should be amicably sorted out.” CRM-M No.30326 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: Thereafter, on the last date it was proposed by the learned counsel that the parties would try to live together. Today learned senior counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners states that the son of the petitioners has not agreed to stay with the girl on the ground that he is very apprehensive that he may be embroiled in some other case. In my considered opinion, in view of the fact that both the parties to the marriage are the permanent residents of Canada, it would not be appropriate to subject the petitioners, who are the parents of the groom, to arrest. Accordingly, this petition is allowed. In the event of arrest of the petitioners, they shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C.
