IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYNA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 17268 of 2011 Date of decision:16.8.2011 Saroj Rani Petitioner vs. State of Punjab Respondent Present: None for petitioner. Mr.Arshvinder Singh, Addl.A.G.Pb Mr. P.S.Ahluwalia, Advocate M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner is a female, who is alleged to have joined her husband and son in assaulting Balwinder Kaur, who had subsequently died on account of the injuries suffered. Taking into consideration the fact that the petitioner is a lady and has not used any weapon; the deceased having died after six days, it will be debatable whether petitioner, who is a lady, can be said to be responsible for the homicide of the complainant. Learned counsel for the complainant has intervened to oppose the petition for pre-arrest bail contending that there are serious allegations against the petitioner of having given fist blows and leg blows to the deceased. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, I am of the view that the petitioner, who is a lady, has not used any weapon on the person of the deceased, who is also a lady, can be granted the concession of pre- arrest bail as she has already joined the investigation. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and interim order dated 1.6.2011 is hereby confirmed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, she will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that the petitioner will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation.
