CRM-M No.14576 of 2011 (O&M) *** Devinder Kaur Vs. State of Punjab Present: Mr. P.S. Ahluwalia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gazi Mohammad, D.A.G., Punjab. **** This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.65 dated 15.03.2011 registered under Sections 306 and 511 IPC at Police Station Patran, District Patiala. The allegation is that the deceased committed suicide because the petitioner, her mother, her maternal grand-father and her brother were pressurizing the deceased to marry the brother. The mother and the maternal grand-father have been arrested. The brother as per the learned Deputy Advocate General on instructions from Sub-Inspector Baldev Singh has been declared a proclaimed offender. The only question before this Court is whether the custodial interrogation of the petitioner who is a young girl of 18 years old would be required. In my considered opinion, in the facts and circumstances of the case, the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary but only her interrogation would be required. CRM-M No.14576 of 2011 (O&M) -2- The petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigating Officer on 27.05.2011 between 10 A.M. to 4 P.M. and on any other date as and when the Investigating Officer may require her presence. In the event of arrest of the petitioner, she shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) MAY 19, 2011 JUDGE ashish
