Crl. Misc. No. M-18423 of 2011 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-18423 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision : 20.07.2011 Gurbax Singh ....Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ....Respondent CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AJAY TEWARI Present: Mr. B.D. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner.. Mr. S.S. Gill, DAG Punjab. * * * AJAY TEWARI,J (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No. 38 dated 25.3.2011 under Sections 326, 323, 324, 148, 149 IPC, registered at Police Station Kartarpur, District Jalandhar. On 08.07.2011, the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel for the petitioner states that there is a long history of litigation between the complainant and her daughter-in-law and the petitioner has been roped in because he was a witness in a complaint filed by the daughter- in-law against the mother-in-law and the present complainant.” On instructions from ASI-Amarjit Singh, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, has accepted the factual assertion, but states that a case has been made out against the petitioner on the basis of the injury suffered by the complainant, therefore, bail should not be granted to the petitioner, since it is only because of the support granted by the petitioner Crl. Misc. No. M-18423 of 2011 (O&M) 2 that Jaswinder Kaur is troubling her mother-in-law. Learned counsel for the petitioner has very fairly stated that even though this fact is not correct yet the petitioner has no objection in undertaking never to visit the village of the complainant viz Kala Bahian, Police Station Kartarpur, District Jalandhar. In the above circumstances, I deem it appropriate to grant concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. In the event of his arrest, the petitioner shall be released on anticipatory bail by the Investigating Officer to his satisfaction, subject to the conditions laid down in Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C. and the condition that the petitioner shall never visit the village Kala Bahian, Police Station Kartarpur, District Jalandhar. In case of violation of this undertaking, it would be open to the prosecution to seek cancellation of bail. This petition stands disposed of. 20.7.2011 (AJAY TEWARI) savita JUDGE
