Crl. Misc. -M No. 26532 of 2011 -1- IN THE PUNJAB AND HARYANA HIGH COURT AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. -M No. 26532 of 2011 (O&M) Date of Decision: 8.9.2011 Inderjit Singh and another ..Petitioners. Vs. State of Punjab ..Respondent. CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present : Mr. H.S. Thiara, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. P.S. Bajwa, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. RAJESH BINDAL, J. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that petitioner No.1 has four brothers and one sister. The complainant is widow of one of the brothers, namely, Gurcharan Singh, who died way back in the year 1968. In fact, she had gone to her parental home and is living there ever since then. In the year 1998, father of the petitioner Didar Singh died. The complainant did not even attend his funeral. The house, which has allegedly been demolished, was registered in the name of father of the petitioner. It is a very old house, which was in dilapidated condition and was being used as a cattle shed. The allegations in the FIR that the petitioners have demolished the house and removed the articles therefrom, are totally false as the complainant never lived in that house. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State, on instructions from Inspector Bhupinder Singh, did not dispute the fact that the complainant was living in her parental house and further that the house in question was about 30 years old. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and considering the contentions raised and the relation of the parties, in my opinion, the petitioners are not required to be taken into custody for interrogation. They shall appear before Investigating Officer on 16.9.2011 at 10.00 A.M. to join investigation. In case they are sought to be arrested, they shall be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Crl. Misc. -M No. 26532 of 2011 -2- Arresting/Investigating Officer. They shall appear before the Investigating Officer as and when called upon for further investigation. They shall also be bound by all the conditions as contained in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. The petition stands disposed of. ( Rajesh Bindal ) 8.9.2011 Judge Meenu
