IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Cr.Misc. NO. M 2603 of 2009 DATE OF DECISION : 18.3.2009 Tarwinder Kaur @ Talwinder Kaur ......PETITIONER VERSUS State of Punjab ......RESPONDENTS PRESENT: Mr. Sandeep Arora, Advocate Mr. PS Sidhu, Addl.A.G.Punjab Mr.Yogesh Goel, Advocate. M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Yog Raj alleging that his ATM card , after having been lost, was misused by the petitioner. The petitioner, pursuant to the interim orders passed by this court on 13.2.2009, has deposited a sum of Rs.2,54,450/- with the Registrar (Judicial). Learned counsel for the complainant has opposed the petition for pre-arrest bail. Learned State counsel informs that the petitioner has joined the investigation. Since the petitioner is a female and has already deposited the alleged amount withdrawn by her with the Registrar (Judicial) and has got no objection in case the amount is released to the complainant,namely, Yog Raj or Kanta Rani, who are present in court, without prejudice to her rights to recover the same in case, at any stage, it is established that the complainant is not entitled to the said amount. Taking into consideration the totality of the circumstances, the petition is allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, she will be admitted to bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that she will appear before the investigating officer as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation at any stage. The sum of Rs.2,54,450/- deposited with the Registrar (Judicial) will be released to the complainant, as agreed by the petitioner, without prejudice to the rights of the parties, which are to be established subsequently. This order will not, in any manner, hamper the complainant to compromise the matter with the petitioner at any stage. March 18 ,2009 ( M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
