IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-32213-2011 (O&M) Date of decision:21.10.2011 Shalini Puri and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab and another ...Respondents CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. D.K.Bhatti, Advocate, for the petitioners. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.71 dated 17.06.2011, under Sections 380 and 120-B of the IPC at Police Station E-Division, District Amritsar. The allegation against the petitioner No.1 is that she was having illicit relations with petitioner No.2 and had eloped with him after committing theft in her house. She allegedly opened the locker of the almirah and took away important documents, `1 lac in cash, cheque books of the daughter of the complainant and about 40 tolas of jewellery. Learned counsel for the petitioners has tried his level best to convince the Court that the petitioners have been involved in a false case and petitioner No.1 was having three children out of her wedlock with the complainant. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners in detail but I am of the view that anticipatory bail to the petitioners cannot be granted as their custody is required for the purpose of recovery of the stolen articles which includes the gold jewellery which was prepared by the complainant for the marriage of his daughter. In view thereof, I do not find it to be a fit case for the grant of anticipatory bail. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. October 21, 2011 (RAKESH KUMAR JAIN) vinod* JUDGE
