Crl. Misc. No. M-30812 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Case No. : Crl. Misc. No. M-30812 of 2011 Date of Decision : October 19, 2011 Baljinder Singh .... Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana .... Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. L. S. Padda, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Tarun Aggarwal, Senior DAG, Haryana. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Baljinder Singh accused has filed the instant petition for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.146 dated 28.04.2011, under Sections 498- A, 406, 506 of the Indian Penal Code (in short – IPC), registered at Police Station Saran, District Faridabad. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case file. The petitioner is husband of the complainant. Learned State counsel, on instructions from ASI Siri Ram, contended that dowry articles Crl. Misc. No. M-30812 of 2011 2 are yet to be recovered from the petitioner. It is also stated that now, petitioner is the only accused as others have been found innocent. Counsel for the petitioner contended that all dowry articles have been taken away by the complainant vide compromise Annexure P-1. The contention cannot be accepted, because compromise Annexure P-1 does not mention that the dowry articles have been taken by the complainant. On the other hand, according to this compromise, dowry articles were to be returned later on by the petitioner to the complainant. Learned State counsel also contended that according to the complainant, her signatures on alleged compromise Annexure P-1 were obtained in the village of the petitioner forcibly and under pressure. Keeping in view all the circumstances of the case, I do not find it to be a fit case for extending the benefit of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, without meaning to express any opinion on the merits of the case, the instant petition is dismissed. October 19, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) monika JUDGE
