To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? *** 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 FIR No.25 dated 12.04.2011, registered under Sections 406, 498-A and 506 of Indian Penal Code at Police Station Phase No.8, District SAS Nagar Mohali. Both the parties are present in the Court and profess that for the sake of their child, they are ready to settle their dispute. Yet there is arrogance in both of them. In the circumstances, the Court has reluctantly given up any attempt to bring this young couple together in this petition for anticipatory bail of sister-in-law, mother-in-law and father-in-law of the complainant. I find that husband has been arrested and released on regular bail and in my considered opinion, the allegations against the petitioners do not warrant CRM No. M-11157 of 2011 (O&M) -2- their custodial interrogation. Consequently, the 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. ( AJAY TEWARI ) December 19, 2011. JUDGE Jyoti 1
