IN TH E HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-26993-2011(O&M) Date of decision:03.10.2011 Rakesh Bhatia ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Ranjan Lakhanpal, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. J.S.Brar, AAG, Punjab. Mr. Veneet Sharma, Advocate, for the complainant. ***** Rakesh Kumar Jain, J. (Oral) This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail in a case registered vide FIR No.71 dated 29.05.2011, under Sections 406, 498-A, 323, 149 IPC at Police Station Gate Hakima, Amritsar City. The allegation against the petitioner is not only of treating the complainant with cruelty by demanding dowry but also of causing actual injuries. It is stated by the complainant that she was given injury on her forehead near the left eye by the petitioner by a thapi (wooden stick) which has caused a deep wound. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case because it has been mentioned by the doctor in the MLR of the complainant that she had suffered injuries due to fall from the stairs during assault. He also submits that the FIR has been registered after 5 days of the occurrence. After hearing both the learned counsel for the parties, but keeping in view the facts and circumstances of this case much-less the photographs of the complainant (Annexure R-1) which show the seat of the injury and the deep wound, which is allegedly caused by the petitioner, I do not find it to be a fit case for extending my discretion to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, the present petition is hereby dismissed. October 03, 2011 (Rakesh Kumar Jain) vinod* Judge
