CRM-M No. 14185 of 2011 **** Gurinder Pal Singh vs. State of Punjab and another Present: Mr.B.S.Bhalla, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. S.S.Bhinder, Sr. Addl.AG, Punjab. Mr.R.S. Rana, Advocate for respondent No.2. **** This is a petition for anticipatory bail filed in case bearing FIR No. 31 dated 7.2.2011, under Section 376 IPC registered at Police Station Zirakpur, District Mohali. On 10.05.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel states that the petitioner is extremely keen to marry the complainant since even a child has been born but actually the mother of the complainant is opposed to the marriage.” Thereafter on 19.05.2011 the following order was passed:- “Parties are present in person. The petitioner has again reiterated that he is very keen to marry the complainant and have a family life with his wife and infant daughter. The complainant, however, states that after the behaviour of the petitioner, she has no faith in him and rather she apprehends that even the present case is a ruse to get free from the clutches of the law and later if she goes along with the petitioner, some further harm may befall her and her child. She has also stated that she has lodged the present FIR as a last resort after repeated enteritis to the petitioner to accept her had failed. Even though the facts as narrated by the complainant reveal a serious breach of morality of law by the petitioner, and even though respondent No.2 is not ready to trust herself with the petitioner, yet I deem it appropriate to grant some time to CRM-M No. 14185 of 2011 -2- the petitioner to now convince respondent No.2 about his sincerity and bona fides because to my mind the infant child is the most important component of this tragic troika. In the circumstances, the matter is adjourned to 5.7.2011.” Even today parties are present in person. It seems that the petitioner has made no effort to try and win over the trust of the complainant. Mr.Bhalla has, however, argued that a message was sent by the petitioner through some relative. In my opinion this was not at all the intention of the order. In the circumstances I do not find it an appropriate case where the concession of anticipatory bail should be granted. Dismissed. ( AJAY TEWARI ) JUDGE July 05, 2011 sunita
