No. M-36079 of 2011 Date of Decision : 1st December, 2011 Rishad Bhatt ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE L. N. MITTAL * * * Present : Mr. Pankaj Gupta, Advocate for the petitioner. * * * L. N. MITTAL, J. (Oral) : Rishad Bhatt has filed the instant petition under Section 438 Cr. P. C. for seeking anticipatory bail in case FIR No.49 dated 27.09.2011 under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Women Cell, Jalandhar I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. The accused-petitioner is husband of the complainant. There are serious allegations against him. The FIR has been registered after enquiry. Prior to registration of FIR, there was some compromise between the parties but nevertheless the complainant was not rehabilitated in the matrimonial home. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that petitioner was Crl. Misc. No. M-36079 of 2011 -2- divorcee before his marriage with the complainant and the marriage between the petitioner and complainant was love marriage through facebook. However these circumstances do not entitle the petitioner to the benefit of anticipatory bail. In my considered opinion, the petitioner does not deserve the concession of anticipatory bail. Accordingly the instant petition for anticipatory bail is dismissed, without meaning to express any opinion on merits of the case. 1st December, 2011 ( L. N. MITTAL ) 'raj' JUDGE
