JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. D.S. Pheruman, Advocate for the petitioners. Ms. Bhavna Gupta, DAG Punjab. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition has been filed by the petitioners under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for anticipatory bail in case FIR No.49 dated 27.4.2010, under Sections 452,354,427,506,323,148,149,356 IPC and under Section 27/25/54/59 of Arms Act, registered at Police Station Raja Sansi, Amritsar City. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. The brief allegations are that complainant is a divorcee. She alongwith her minor daughter used to reside at the house of her parents. Parents of complainant are old aged. Co-accused Manjit Singh and Gurjit Singh used to reside opposite the house of complainant. The fact that she is divorcee, was known to them. They used to keep evil eye upon her. They used to tease her when she used to go out. They used to pass indecent remarks against her. They also used to give indecent signals to her by intentionally lower downing the trousers and she continued to bear all these excesses. When she protested against their behaviour to their family Criminal Misc.No. M- 16030 of 2010 -2- members they and their family members became annoyed with her. On 3.10.2009 at about 9.00 PM when complainant alongwith her parents was present in their house, co-accused Manjit Singh and Ravinder Kaur alongwith petitioners-accused entered the house of complainant. Petitioner-accused Kulwant Kaur raised lalkara that complainant be taught a lesson and that she should be insulted . Manjit Singh gave a slap on the right side of the face of complainant. Kulwant Kaur gave a push and threw the complainant on the ground. Co-accused Gagandeep Kaur then gave a kick blow upon her breast. Petitioner-accused Ravinder Kaur and Satwant Kaur also gave kick blows upon various parts of her body. Co-accused Prabhjit Singh was continuing exhorting Manjit Singh and Gurjit Singh while raising his gun by saying that complainant should be taken to their house by stripping her naked and by blackening her face. Thereafter, co- accused Gurjit Singh causht hold her by long hair and dragged her to his house. Co-accused Manjit Singh and Prabhjit Singh caught hold her by her arms. Gurjit Singh torn her shirt from front side. Manjit Singh tried to break the string of her salwar and continued to touch the other parts of her body. The old parents of the complainant tried to separate the complainant from the accused persons and with great difficulty the complainant reached her room in half naked condition with torn shirt. Petitioner-accused Ravinder Kaur removed her golden ear ring and dragged her. Petitioner-accused Gagandeep Kaur also taken away her mobile phone. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioners that the matter has previously investigated by the police and that however the allegations were not found to be correct and that the present FIR was lodged on wrong facts. The allegations against the petitioners are very serious in nature as reproduced above. Applicants-petitioners took active part in the occurrence. FIR was lodged as per order of the Superintendent of Police after inquiry. In view of these facts, it is not such a case, in which extra-ordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the Criminal Misc.No. M- 16030 of 2010 -3- petitioners-accused Gagandeep Kaur, Ravinder Kaur, Kulwant Kaur and Satwant Kaur. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the petition for anticipatory bail to the petitioners-accused Gagandeep Kaur, Ravinder Kaur, Kulwant Kaur and Satwant Kaur is dismissed.
