Petitioner vs. State of Punjab .................Respondent Coram: Hon'ble Mr. Justice K.C. Puri Present: Sh. Mandeep S. Bedi, Senior Advocate with Ms. Mandeep Kaur, Advocate for the petitioner. Sh. K.S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... K.C. Puri, J. (Oral) Petitioner is the mother-in-law of complainant Amandeep Kaur. Learned State counsel has stated at the Bar that petitioner has joined the investigation but the dowry articles recovered are under- weight. It is further contended that an amount of Rs.2.50 lacs which was entrusted to petitioner alongwith other two accused, is yet to be recovered. To counter the said allegation, learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that said amount of Rs.2.50 lacs was Crl.M. No. M-23390 of 2009 -2- allegedly paid to Rajbir Singh and only presence of the petitioner and husband of the petitioner has been shown at that time. I have carefully considered the submissions made by counsel for both the sides and have also gone through the record of the case. There is no specific entrustment to the petitioner regarding payment of Rs.2.50 lacs. It is mentioned in the FIR that said amount was handed over to Rajbir Singh, husband of the complainant and only presence of the petitioner has been mentioned. Kulwant Singh – husband of the petitioner is stated to have been allowed the regular bail and Rajbir Singh is yet to be arrested. The petitioner is a lady. So, taking into account the totality of circumstances, the order dated 25.8.2009, passed by this Court, is made absolute. ( K.C. Puri ) 8.10.2009. Judge chugh
