State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.G.S.Kaura, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.45566 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-25535 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.202, dated 13.9.2006, under Sections 302, 304-B, 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Sadar, Ludhiana. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Gurgaon, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. Son of present petitioner was married with daughter of complainant on 10.10.2005. However, on 12.9.2006, she died in the house of petitioner-accused on account of strangulation. It has been mentioned in the FIR that cause of conflict was that present petitoner-accused was having illicit relations with some other lady and she used to come to the house which was objected by the deceased and hence daughter of the complainant was killed as she was an obstruction in the way of present petitioner. After investigation petitioner-accused was found innocent by the police and he Crl.M.No.M-25535 of 2010 (O&M) -2- was not challaned and only husband of deceased was challaned. However, on application filed by the prosecution under Section 319 Cr.P.C., the petitioner-accused has been summoned to face trial alongwith co-accused vide order dated 8.7.2010, passed by learned trial Court, i.e., learned Additional Sessions Judge, Ludhiana, for summoning the petitioner-accused for offence under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC. Hence, in view of the serious allegations against the petitoner- accused, 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- Sadhu Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 20.9.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
