Whether reporters of local papers may be allowed to see the judgment? Yes. IN THE HIGH COURT OF HIMACHAL PRADESH, SHIMLA. Cr. MP(M) No.224 of 2009. Dated of Decision: April 09,2009. Paras Ram. …..… Petitioner. Versus State of H.P. …….. Respondent. Coram The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Surinder Singh, Judge. Whether approved for reporting? No. For the Petitioner : Mr. Tarlok Chauhan, Advocate. For the Respondent : Mr. J.S. Guleria, Asstt. Advocate General. Surinder Singh, J (oral): The petitioner was arrested in FIR No.61 of 2008, registered on 1.11.2008 under Section 306 of the Indian Penal Code, in Police Station Khairi, District Chamba, H.P. on 2.11.2008. He failed to get the bail from the court of sessions; as such the instant application has been moved under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, for the grant of bail. Report has been filed. Arguments heard. Matter considered. In brief, the facts are that the petitioner was married to deceased 1½ years ago from her death by hanging with Dupatta on 1.11.2008. It is alleged that the petitioner was 2 torturing and harassing her, as he was suspecting her to be of a loose character. The challan has been presented in the court for the trial of the petitioner. I have perused the postmortem report and the other documents on record. The Doctor, who conducted the postmortem, only suspected the death of Promila Devi, wife of the petitioner by hanging on the basis of the material supplied to him. He did not find any ligature mark around the neck except two contusions. There was also a tear in the posterior wall of the vagina of the deceased, which was bleeding. The complainant is the father of the deceased. He reported the matter on the same day to the police about the unnatural death of his daughter and also complained that the petitioner used to harass her during her lifetime and he had suspected some foul play. Keeping in view, the above facts and also the fact that the petitioner is a permanent resident of village Khadiyal, Tehsil Salooni, District Chamba, H.P., in my opinion, the petitioner can be enlarged on bail on suitable conditions. As such, his application for bail is allowed and the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing the bail bonds in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety of the like amount, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, 3 Chamba and this bail shall be subject to the following conditions: (i) The petitioner shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence in any manner and shall present in the Court as and when required to do so; (ii) he shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case, so as to dissuade him to make the disclosure of such facts to the court or to any police officer; and (iii) he shall not misuse his liberty of bail in any manner. Needless to say that if the petitioner makes breach any of the conditions aforesaid, the liberty of bail shall be cancelled. Any observations made hereinabove, shall not affect the merits of this case in any manner. Let an authenticated copy of this order be sent to the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chamba forthwith, for his information and necessary action at his end. The application stands disposed of. April 9, 2009. (Surinder Singh) (Pds) Judge.
