Crl.M.No.32184-M of 2010 #1# IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.M.No.32184-M of 2010 Date of Order: 17.11.2010 Balbir Kaur .....Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE JASWANT SINGH Present: Mr. J.S. Gharuan, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, AAG, Punjab. JASWANT SINGH, J (ORAL) Prayer under Section 438 Cr.P.C is for grant of anticipatory/pre arrest bail on behalf of mother-in-law, whose son was married to the complainant in case FIR No.103 dated 14.9.2010 under Sections 406/498-A/323/506 IPC, P.S Banur, District Patiala. Learned counsel submits that the allegations against the petitioner-mother in law in the FIR are general and vague in nature. It has been alleged that it was the husband of the complainant, who was giving beatings to her and demanding more money. Learned state counsel, on instructions from ASI Raghbir Singh, states that the petitioner has joined investigation in pursuance of interim protection granted by the learned Addl. Sessions Judge and her custodial interrogation is no longer required. He further states that recovery of entire dowry articles is yet to be effected. Without commenting upon merit of the case and keeping in Crl.M.No.32184-M of 2010 #2# view the general allegations against the petitioner and that recovery of remaining articles can be got effected from the husband, I find that the petitioner, who is an aged lady, deserves the concession of pre arrest bail. Petition stands disposed of with a direction that in the event of her arrest, petitioner shall be released on anticipatory/pre arrest bail to the satisfaction of the Arresting/Investigation subject to her joining investigation. She shall continue to join investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by all the conditions as envisaged under Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
