IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Cr.Misc. NO. M 33350 of 2008 DATE OF DECISION : 16.3.2009 Rajesh ......PETITIONER VERSUS State of Haryana ......RESPONDENTS PRESENT: Mr. Parminder Singh, Advocate Mr. SS Goripuria, DAG, Hry Mr. Ashit Malik, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner at length and gone through the record. Prima facie there are allegations of demand of dowry by the petitioner and his mother. A specific amount of Rs.30,000/- on demand had allegedly been handed over to the petitioner. The deceased had died within 7 years of her marriage. It has to be determined on the basis of appreciation of evidence whether soon before the death, the deceased had been treated with cruelty, resulting in her death/ suicide. Plausible reasons to rebut the presumptions u/s 113 A and 113 B of the Indian Evidence Act are to be established before the trial court. In view of the above circumstances, no ground is made out for grant of bail to the petitioner. Dismissed. I have considered the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been in custody since 20.10.2007. While dismissing this petition, a direction is issued that the trial court will expeditiously dispose of the trial. March 16 ,2009 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
