IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl.M.No.M-23670 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: August 17, 2010 Rajesh .....Petitioner v. State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Parminder Singh, Advocate for the petitioner. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner in case FIR No.323, dated 22.7.2010, under Sections 323, 406, 498-A, 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Model Town, Panipat. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and have gone through the whole record carefully. Marriage of complainant with petitioner was solemnised on 21.11.2007. Since the very beginning of marriage, harassment started on account of dowry. There are specific allegations of physical and mental torture. Complainant has given detailed account of the acts of harassment and cruelty at the instance of present petitioner and his family members. The matter was also taken to various Panchayats and even to the Women Cell, and however, harassment continued. Dowry articles are yet to be recovered. Hence, it is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioner- Rajesh for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 17.8.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
