CRM No. M-7317 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-7317 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 27.03.2009 Raman Verma and another ...Petitioners Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. P.L. Singla, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Shailesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab. Mr. A.S. Kalra, Advocate, for the complainant. Rajan Gupta, J. CRM No.16014 of 2009 This is an application filed by counsel for the complainant for permission to appear on behalf of complainant. The same is allowed as prayed for. CRM No.16016 of 2009 This is an application for placing on record alleged suicide note of deceased as Annexure R-2/1. The application is allowed. Annexure R-2/1 is taken on record. CRM No. M-7317 of 2009 This is a petition for grant of pre-arrest bail on behalf of the petitioners in an FIR bearing No.38 dated 21st February, 2009, under Sections 306, 341, 506 read with Section 34 IPC, registered at Police Station City Muktsar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that petitioners have absolutely no role to play in the crime. They have been falsely implicated on the basis of statement made by father of the CRM No. M-7317 of 2009 2 deceased. Learned counsel for the State has, however, opposed the bail on the ground that the deceased committed suicide due to harassment meted out by the petitioners. They are thus guilty of having abetted the suicide. Learned counsel for the complainant has also placed on record a suicide note which is said to have been found from the pocket of the deceased. The said suicide note, which has been taken on record as Annexure R-2/1, ascribes clear cut role to the petitioners. The deceased has stated therein that his wife (petitioner No.1) and her aunt (petitioner No.2), had made his life a hell and they were responsible for putting him in such a situation. In the suicide note, the deceased has also referred to threats given to him by some unknown person at the behest of the petitioners and a demand of Rs.10.00 lacs was also made by them. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the considered view that the petitioners are not entitled to concession of anticipatory bail in this case. In view of the allegations contained in the FIR as well as suicide note, Annexure R2/1, no case for grant of pre- arrest bail is made out. The petition is thus devoid of merit. The same is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE March 27, 2009 'rajpal'
