In the Punjab and Haryana High Court, at Chandigarh. CRM-M- 24457 of 2011 Decided on Sept 21,2011 Resham Singh --Petitioner vs. State of Punjab --Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. M.L.Saggar,Sr.Advocate, with Mr.G.S.Brar,Advocate, for the petitioner Mr.A.S.Rai, D.A.G, Punjab Rakesh Kumar Jain,J:(Oral) This is a petition for regular bail pending trial in a case registered vide FIR No.48 dated 27.9.2010, under Section 302 of the IPC at Police Station Fatehgarh Panjtoor, District Moga. Allegation against the petitioner is that on the fateful night at about 2.a.m, the complainant Nihal Singh alongwith Resham Singh son of Kirpal Singh heard screams of Barjinder Kaur (since deceased). They rushed to their room and saw in the light that the petitioner was wearing an underwear. He was armed with Kulhari in his right hand. He tried to attack the complainant and Resham Singh aforesaid but they stepped back. In the meantime, the petitioner ran away with Kulhari from the door of the lobby. It is further alleged in the FIR that when they entered the room of Barjinder Kaur deceased, she was found lying dead having been injured with sharp edged weapon on the neck, chest and right side of her face. It is also alleged that the deceased was to get share of land sold by her parents. CRM-M- 24457 of 2011 -2- Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that he has been falsely implicated in this case as the petitioner would not have tried to commit the alleged murder in the presence of so many persons available in the house. He also argued that instead of taking the deceased to the hospital, the complainant is alleged to have made phone calls to the Sarpanch of the village which casts a serious doubt that the alleged offence has been committed by some unknown person. On the contrary, learned counsel for the respondent has submitted that it is a case of an eye witness account in which two persons have seen the petitioner at night, armed with Kulhari, running away after trying to attack them and immediately thereafter the dead body of Barjinder Kaur deceased was recovered from her room where both the petitioner and the (deceased) are alleged to have retired for the night. In view thereof, after hearing the learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration all the facts and circumstances of the case, I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of bail and this petition is thus dismissed.
