Crl.M.No.M-32620 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-32620 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: November 9, 2010 Satgur Singh .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Gaurav Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner. ........ RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.58007 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-32620 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.123, dated 3.10.2010, under Section 116 read with Section 306 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar Dhuri, District Sangrur. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the impugned order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Sangrur, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. Brief allegations are that complainant belongs to Ramdasia caste. Deceased was son of the complainant, who left his studies just after 6th class. He used to do some domestic work. She had given a mobile phone to her son, who used to listen songs. However, his mobile phone was taken away by his friends, i.e., Satpal Singh and Satgur, i.e., the present petitioner-accused and they refused to return the same on his repeated demands. Rather they raised threat to him that he would be killed if he demanded the same. Complainant alongwith deceased also visited the accused and however, co-accused raised threat that they would not give the Crl.M.No.M-32620 of 2010 (O&M) -2- mobile and they could do whatever they wanted. The matter was also brought to the notice of the Sarpanch of the village. Petitioner-accused and co-accused again raised threat to son of the complainant to kill him near the gate of the house and hence, on account of harassment on the part of the petitioner and co-accused, son of complainant committed suicide by setting himself on fire. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner- accused that son of complainant committed suicide due to some family problem and not on account of the harassment on the part of the petitioner. Allegations against the petitioner-accused are serious in nature. It is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Satgur Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 9.11.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
