Versus State of Punjab …..Respondent. CORAM: Hon’ble Mr. Justice Rajesh Bindal Present:- Mr. Mohd. Yousaf, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Adovcate General, Punjab. **** RAJESH BINDAL, J. The petitioner is mother-in-law of the complainant. The allegation in the FIR is that the petitioner, the husband of the complainant and other family members were harassing the complainant on account of dowry. They were trying to strangulate her. However, on inquiry, it was found that on account of alleged harassment, the complainant tried to commit suicide. The fact that she was saved when she made attempt to commit suicide on the first floor of the house and also got admitted in the hospital is not in dispute. The husband was arrested and has already been released on regular bail. Considering the aforesaid facts, I find that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required. The petitioner is directed to appear before the Investigation Officer on 28.07.2011 at 10.00 AM and on any other subsequent date as and when called for. However, in case she is sought to be arrested, she shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer. She shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. She shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. ( RAJESH BINDAL) JUDGE 19.07.2011 A.Kaundal
