CRM-M No. 23108 of 2011 **** Sukhjinder Singh v. State of Punjab and another Present: Mr.K.V.Singh Ahluwalia, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Gill, DAG, Punjab. Mr. A.S.Jattana, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No.90 dated 12.07.2011, under Section 498-A IPC registered at Police Station Dhanaula, District Sangrur, Punjab. On 02.08.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel states that the marriage is of the year 2006. There are no children and the petitioner is very keen to bring an amicable end to this dispute. ” Thereafter the parties appeared before this Court on 19.10.2011 and they have also appeared today. Learned counsel for respondent No.2 states that respondent No.2 being a lady would not be averse to any reasonable settlement. However, learned counsel for the petitioner has stated that the petitioner is neither willing to take her back nor is he willing to pay any maintenance to her as the petitioner does not have the wherewithal and nor does he have any articles of dowry . This Court has reached the reluctant conclusion that the petitioner is trying to overreach this Court, first by getting an order of stay of arrest and then failing to make any attempts to settle the matter. Consequently this petition is dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE October 31, 2011 sunita
