CRM No. M-16191 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-16191 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 01.07.2009 Rajbir Singh and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. Manjeet Singh, Advocate, for the petitioners. Rajan Gupta, J. The petitioners have prayed for grant of pre-arrest bail in case registered against them under Sections 406, 420, 342, 376 and 506 IPC, vide FIR No.103 dated 24th May, 2009 at Police Station Sadar, Kaithal. The allegations in the FIR are that the accused duped the complainant of huge amount of money and also took his signatures on some blank papers. The accused also raped wife of the complainant after administering alcohol to him. Learned counsel for the petitioners has argued that allegations in the FIR are totally false. It is unbelievable that the complainant and his wife could be kept in illegal detention for a period of five months. The petitioners are not required for custodial interrogation. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and have CRM No. M-16191 of 2009 2 gone through the allegations levelled in the FIR. In my considered view, the allegations levelled against the petitioners are quite serious. It has been alleged that the petitioners have gang-raped the wife of the complainant. The investigating agency may require custodial interrogation of the petitioners for taking the investigation to its logical end. In the circumstances, I do not find any merit in this petition for pre-arrest bail. The same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE July 01, 2009 'rajpal'
