Crl.Misc. No.M-25331 of 2011 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Date of decision: August 23, 2011. Crl.Misc. No.M-25331 of 2011. Jaswinder Singh .. Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab. .. Respondent * * * CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.Vikram Bali, Advocate, for the petitioner. * * * M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL). Petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of Jasbir Kaur, alleging that the petitioner had promised to marry her as such, the petitioner had exploited her sexually. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner had gone abroad in the year 2005 and returned in the year 2009 as such, he has been wrongly declared as a proclaimed offender. It has been claimed that the petitioner has compromised the matter with the complainant. A copy of compromise has also been placed on record as Annexure P-2. . . . 1 Crl.Misc. No.M-25331 of 2011 It has been submitted by the counsel for the petitioner that the complainant is married and would probably have no grievance against the petitioner now as, at the most, it could be said to be a case of breach of promise of marriage. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner and considered the facts and circumstances of this case. The petitioner seems to have earlier exploited the complainant taking advantage of her helplessness. He appears to have escaped and gone out of the country. Now, taking advantage of the complainant having remarried and shown her magnanimity by suffering a compromise, he wants to abuse the process of the Court. No ground is made out for the grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. The petition is dismissed. This order will not, in any manner, prejudice the rights of the petitioner to seek the concession of regular bail for quashing of FIR on the basis of compromise. Nothing mentioned in this order will prejudice the rights of the petitioner to seek the above said relief. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE August 23, 2011. rka . . . 2
