Crl. Misc. No. 23916 of 2011 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-23916 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 21.10.2011. Kamaljit Singh Shahi and another .......Petitioners Vs. State of Punjab ......Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI Present: Mr. J.S.Gill, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. K.S.Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. ..... M.M.S.BEDI, J. (ORAL) Petitioner No.1 is real brother of Manjit Shahi and petitioner No.2 is wife of petitioner No.1. Both the petitioners apprehend arrest in a case which was registered at the instance of father of Arshpreet Kaur alleging that she had been maltreated by her husband Manjit Singh Shahi. It is admitted fact that Manjit Singh Sahi married Arshpreet Kaur on the basis of their intimacy through internet while he was in England for seven years. The daughter of the complainant Arshpreet kaur had visited India for only one day. The petitioners have joined investigation in pursuance of the interim order dated 09.8.2011 passed by this court. On perusal of the police file it is debatable that the petitioners had connived with Manjit Singh or another family member to maltreat the complainant's daughter. Prima facie the petitioners Crl. Misc. No. 23916 of 2011 (O&M) -2- do not appear to have committed any offence falling within the definition of cheating with the complainant. The petition is allowed and it is directed that in case of arrest of the petitioners, they will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the conditions that they will not tamper with the evidence and hamper with the investigation in any manner.
