Mr.N.S.Gill, AAG, Punjab. ... Petitioner Hamir Kaur has filed this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.3 dated 2.1.2006 registered under Section 304-B IPC at Police Station Dirba, District Sangrur. I have heard the counsel for the parties and gone through the contents of the FIR. The petitioner is mother-in-law of the deceased. She is in custody since 5.1.2006. In this case, two daughters of the complainant were married to two sons of the petitioner. One daughter Karamjit Kaur wife of Kulwinder Singh committed suicide by taking some poisoning substance. The complainant alleged that his daughter committed suicide due to the harassment caused to her by her husband, mother-in-law (petitioner), brother-in-law and uncle of the husband. As per the allegations, his another daughter Ranjit Kaur told him that soon before the occurrence, deceased Karamjit Kaur was beaten by the accused for not bringing sufficient dowry due to which she had taken the poisonous insecticide and committed suicide. In this case, the prosecution has examined complainant Gurbax Singh and his daughter Ranjit Kaur. Both the witnesses have not supported the prosecution case and have been declared hostile. The factual position Crl.Misc.No.71457-M of 2006 -2- has not been disputed by the State counsel. Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to grant regular bail to the petitioner, and she is accordingly ordered to be released on bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
