IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 29564 of 2011 Date of decision: 19.12.2011 Manpreet Singh petitioner vs State of Punjab respondent Present:- Mr. Gaurav Chopra, Advocate Mr. Kirat Singh,DAG, Pb Mr.Kiran Kumar, Advocate for Mr.Gurcharan Dass, Advocvate M.M.S.BEDI, J. The petitioner seeks the concession of regular bail in a case registered at the instance of of Pal Singh alleging that his daughter Parminder Kaur was married to Karnail Singh about 14/15 years back. Karnail Singh has left his house on 25.6.2009. His dead body was recovered from the canal on 26.6.2009. After nine months of the death of Karnail Singh, the complainant had lodged an FIR alleging that his daughter Parminder Singh had illicit relations with the petitioner and the petitioner and Parminder Kaur, daughter of the complainant, were responsible for the abetment of suicide of Karnail Singh. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the delay in lodging of the FIR is indicative of its falsehood. Without expression of any opinion on merits of the case, it is sufficient to observe that the daughter of the complainant has got two children out of her wedlock with deceased Karnail Singh. No doubt, after the death of her husband Karnail Singh, she had entered into matrimonial bond with the petitioner but whether the said circumstance can be considered to constitute abetment of suicide. Without expression of any opinion on merits of the case, it is sufficient to observe that the petitioner has been in custody since 18.8.2011. Main witness complainant has already been examined. Co- accused of the petitioner,namely, Parminder Kaur has been granted the concession of bail by this court on 21.10.2011. The petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond/surety bond to the satisfaction of the trial court. December 19 , 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI ) TSM JUDGE
