Crl.M.No.M-23674 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-23674 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 18, 2010 Umar .....Petitioner v. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Ms.Monisha Lamba, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.196, dated 2.6.2010, under Sections 363, 366, 506, 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station Hathin, District Palwal. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Allegations against the petitioner-accused are that he enticed away a minor girl, aged 14 years, from the lawful guardianship of her parents. It has been contended that petitioner performed marriage with the girl with her consent and that they had also filed a petition for protection of their life and liberty before this Court, which was disposed of with direction to the Superintendent of Police, Palwal, to take an appropriate action on the said application. However, at this stage there is nothing to show that allegation against the petitioner, that daughter of the complainant is 14 years of age, is false. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Crl.M.No.M-23674 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Umar for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 18.8.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
