Crl.M.No.M-25899 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-25899 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision:September 13, 2010 Bhajno .....Petitioner v. The State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.V.K.Thakur, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.46209 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-25899 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.36, dated 25.2.2010, under Sections 307/149 IPC and later on added Section 302 IPC, registered at Police Station Shahkot, District Jalandhar. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the order passed by learned Sessions Judge, Jalandhar, dismissing the application of anticipatory bail filed on behalf of the present petitioner. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused, as per FIR, are that petitioner-accused called upon co-accused to finish the deceased. A cane containing kerosene oil was lying in the room. Co-accused Resham Singh poured kerosene oil on the deceased. Co-accused Jeet Singh son of Nek handed over the match box to his mother Bhajno, i.e., the present petitioner and she set her body on fire. FIR was got registered on the statement of the deceased by Jaswant Singh, ASI. However, later on she succumbed to the injuries. Inquiry was conducted by Deputy Crl.M.No.M-25899 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Superintendent of Police, Nakodar. Enquiry report has been placed on record by the petitioner, as Annexure P2. Even as per the enquiry report, petitioner-accused, Bhajno and Amar Nath alias Mana, husband of deceased were found responsible for the offence. Hence, in view of serious allegations against the petitioner- accused, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Bhajno for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 13.9.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
