Cr.Misc. M 27453 of 2011 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. M 27453 of 2011 Date of decision: 22.11.2011 Amandeep Kaur petitioner vs State of Punjab and another respondent Present:- Mr. LS Sidhu, Advocate Mr. Kirat Singh, DAG, Pb Mr.Navdeep Monga, Advocate M.M.S.BEDI, J. The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of of Jaspal Kaur alleging that the petitioner and her husband had abused the complainant in the name of her caste and caused injuries to her. It is an admitted fact that the petitioner is a lady and she originally belonged to Mazbhi caste. She has married the main accused Jagroop Singh, who had actually abused the complainant in the name of her caste. Learned counsel for the complainant has intervened to oppose the petition for pre-arrest bail contending that the petitioner no more remains a scheduled caste after having married Jagroop Singh, who is Jat by caste. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, it appears that it will be debatable during trial whether the petitioner herself has lost her status as a person belonging to scheduled caste after her marriage to Jagroop Singh. It is not out of place to observe here that she has already Cr.Misc. M 27453 of 2011 2 put in appearance before the trial court pursuant to the interim order dated 9.9.2011. Accordingly, the petition is allowed and interim order 9.9.2011 dated is hereby made absolute subject to the condition that the petitioner will continue to appear before the trial court and will not absent herself without any sufficient cause.
