The petitioner seeks regular bail in a case registered against her for the offence under Section 306 IPC. The FIR has been registered on the statement of Lakhwinder Singh, who stated that on 25.6.2008 he along with his father Puran Singh (deceased) were working in their fields. Then his aunt (father’s younger brother’s wife), namely, Kulwinder Kaur (petitioner) came to the tube-well at about 10.00 a.m. and abused Puran Singh. She asked him to give turn of the water first from the tube-well. She pulled the hair and beard of Puran Singh. Besides, she assaulted and grappled with him. Puran Singh felt disrespected and aggrieved from the petitioner and he consumed intoxicant tablets which were kept in the room of the tube-well due to anger. When he came out of the room he started vomiting. Sukhwinder Kaur-mother of the complainant came to the tube-well. On seeing her, Kulwinder Kaur Cr. Misc. No.M-8464 of 2009 [2] (petitioner) ran away from the spot. The question whether the petitioner abetted the suicide of Puran Singh is to be considered and gone into after evidence has been led by the prosecution. At this stage, it cannot be said that the petitioner indeed had abetted commission of suicide by Puran Singh (deceased). In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the controversy, the petitioner on her furnishing personal bond and surety to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gurdaspur shall be admitted to bail.
