Crl.M.No.M-16827 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-16827 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: July 1, 2010 Ravi Kumar .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Veneet Sharma, 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.218, dated 1.12.2009, under Sections 374, 420, 354, 506, 509 IPC, registered at Police Station Islamabad, Amritsar City, District Amritsar. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that an application was moved by complainant-Renu Bala to Senior Superintendent of Police, stating therein that petitioner-accused is harassing her. Co- accused -Sudesh, sister of Ravi Kumar, the petitioner, used to reside near the house of the complainant, Hence, while in the company of sister of petitioner, she indulged in bad activities and her brother, i.e., the present petitioner-accused had taken her photographs. She was married to Surinder Kumar at Batala. Later on, however, petitioner-accused delivered photographs at the house of her in-laws and hence, her marriage was dissolved. Petitioner is now residing at the house of her parents. However, as per allegations petitioner is still harassing her and raising threats to her that he would send photographs to the house of her in-laws wherever she would be engaged again. As per own admission of the petitioner, he was Crl.M.No.M-16827 of 2010 (O&M) -2- having affair with the complainant which was not to the liking of her parents. Allegations against the petitioner-accused are serious in nature. Hence, 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- Ravi Kumar for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 1.7.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
