No.M-15015 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision ; 30.05.2011 Mohinder Kaur ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ALOK SINGH Present: Mr. Sanjay Gupta Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D.Sachdeva, Addl. AG, Punjab. 1. Whether reporters of local news papers may be allowed to see judgment ? 2. To be referred to reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? * * * ALOK SINGH, J (ORAL) This is an application seeking anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 20 dated 26.03.2011 under Sections 406,420 IPC registered at Police Station Balachaur, District SBS Nagar. Affidavit of Snehjot Dhawan, P.P.S. Superintendent of Police Ludhiana has been filed and taken on record. As per the prosecution story, the petitioner (55 years lady) along with her son has taken money from the complainant to send her son to England. While infact after receiving money, son of the complainant was sent to Combodia. Learned counsel has rightly submitted that if son of complainant was sent to Combodia instead of England what was the reason for him to stay in Combodia for one year, he should have come back immediately and should have taken action immediately. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, the present petition is directed to be allowed. Let petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the Trial Court. Before parting with this order, I would like to mention here that the petitioner was not produced before the court on the date fixed i.e. 18.4.2011 on Crl. Misc. No.M-15015 of 2011 (O&M) 2 expiry of period of judicial remand with the explanation that lady police constable was not available to produce the petitioner-accused before the Magistrate from the jail. This is very serious matter. None can be confined in jail after the expiry of period of judicial remand. Police/jail authority must act with great care and caution. Magistrate/competent Court should not grant adjournment mechanically if accused is not produced before the Court on the date fixed on expiry of period of judicial remand. If accused is not being produced before the Court on expiry of period of judicial remand, learned Court must take such measure as Court deems fit against the authorities concerned found responsible for not producing the accused before the Court on expiry of period of judicial remand.
