In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, at Chandigarh. CRM-M-26854 of 2011 (O&M) Decided on Sept 05,2011 Harinder Kaur alias Raj --Petitioner vs. State of Punjab --Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr.J.S.Dadwal,Advocate, for the petitioner Rakesh Kumar Jain,J:(Oral) This is a petition for pre arrest bail under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 (for short,'Cr.P.C.') in a case registered vide FIR No.53 dated 08.6.2011, under Sections 498-A/316 of IPC at Police Station Nihal Singh Wala, District Moga. The FIR is registered by Harjinder Kaur, aged 19 years who has alleged that her marriage was solemnized 7 months ago with Lakhvinder Singh (son of the petitioner) in which her parents had given dowry beyond their capacity but her husband and her mother-in-law (petitioner) were not happy with the dowry and were continuously harassing her mentally and physically just after 2/3 months of the marriage. She has alleged that the petitioner had demanded `3,00,000/- and when her mother Paramjit Kaur had visited her house on 4.6.2011, in her presence, both the petitioner and her son gave beating to the complainant inasmuch as the petitioner caught the complainant by her hair and her husband gave a kick on her abdomen, CRM-M-26854 of 2011 (O&M) -2- as a result of which, she suffered the abortion of her three months' pregnancy. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the complainant has lodged a false FIR. It is alleged that the complainant herself wanted to abort the child for which husband of the petitioner had even made a complaint. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the record from which I have found that the allegations against the petitioner are quite serious of causing abortion of three months' old pregnancy of the complainant by giving her severe beatings. In view thereof, I do find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, this bail application is dismissed. Sept 05,2011 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) RR Judge
