Crl.M.No.M-35844 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-35844 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: December 7, 2010 Satnam Kaur .....Petitioner v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Rajiv Joshi, Advocate for the petitioner. ..... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.63698 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-35844 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.198, dated 31.10.2010, under Section 306 IPC, registered at Police Station Rama Mandi, Jalandhar. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the impugned order passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Jalandhar, vide which application filed on behalf of the present petitioner for anticipatory bail was dismissed. Brief allegations against the petitioner-accused are that she is mother-in-law of the deceased, i.e., daughter of the complainant. Deceased was married with son of petitioner about four years ago. There are specific allegations of harassment on account of dowry against the petitioner- accused. Daughter-in-law of the petitioner died on account of poisoning. Allegations are against petitioner-accused only. Even husband has not been implicated. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner- accused that petitioner is used to reside separate from the deceased and hence he has been falsely implicated in this case. Crl.M.No.M-35844 of 2010 (O&M) -2- There are serious allegations against the petitioner-accused. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. In view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner-Satnam Kaur for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 7.12.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
