Crl. Misc. No.M-16652 of 2011 (O&M) ****** Usha Rani Vs. State of Punjab Present : Mr. Rahul Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S. Gill, D.A.G., Punjab. AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) 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.108 dated 01.05.2010 registered under Sections 306 IPC at Police Station Basti Jodhewal, Ludhiana, District Ludhiana. On 06.07.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that this repeated conversion of the case (from Section 307 to 302 to 306 IPC) itself casts a doubt on the whole story.” On instructions from ASI Amandeep Singh learned Deputy Advocate General has accepted the fact that the case was originally registered under Section 307 which was converted to Section 302 and later on converted to Section 306 IPC. He has further stated that it has now been found that the allegation that somebody set fire to the deceased was wrong and in fact she set fire to herself. In this view of the matter, I deem it appropriate to grant the concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Ordered accordingly. Crl. Misc. No.M-16652 of 2011 (O&M) -2- In the event of arrest of the petitioner, she shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of Investigating Officer subject to the conditions envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) July 18, 2011 JUDGE ashish
