Crl.M.No.M-24345 of 2010 (O&M) -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-24345 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 26, 2010 Veero and another .....Petitioners v. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.K.S.Kahlon, Advocate for the petitioners. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case FIR No.81, dated 6.7.2010, under Sections 363, 366, 366-A, 376, 342, 323 IPC, registered at Police Station City Qadian, District Gurdaspur. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations against the petitioners-accused are that they and prosecutrix, who is minor, aged 17-1/2 years, are neighbours. Co- accused Harpal Singh @ Bholu, son of petitioner no.1 and brother of petitioner no.2, alighted from the car and put handkerchief on the nose of prosecutrix and when she gained consciousness, she found herself in the house of petitioners. She was forced to marry with Harpal Singh by them and other family members. She was forcibly kept there. Harpal Singh had been committing continuous acts of rape upon her with the connivance of present petitioners. Earlier as well petitioners filed the petition for anticipatory bail, which was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 6.8.2010 passed in Crl.M.No.M-22571 of 2010. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners-accused. Crl.M.No.M-24345 of 2010 (O&M) -2- Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioners- Veero and Dilbagh Singh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 26.8.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
