Crl. Misc. No.M-7233 of 2011 -1- IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-7233 of 2011 Date of Decision: 12.09.2011 Daya Nand ..... Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ..... Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI Present: Mr. Rakesh Nehra, Advocate, for the petitioner. Ms. Shalini Attri, DAG, Haryana. M.M.S. BEDI, J. Petitioner seeks concession of regular bail in a case registered on the basis of secret information that the petitioner along with other family members i.e. the brothers and grandmother of Rajni had killed Rajni on account of her bad character. The petitioner and others were intercepted at Police naka along with the dead body. The cause of death as per the report of the Forensic Science Laboratory is on account of aluminium phosphide which was found in the parts of stomach, intestine, liver spleen and kidney of the deceased. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the statement of Senior Scientific Assistant of the Office of the SP Rohtak. She has stated that no injury was observed on the body of the deceased. State counsel has opposed the application for bail contending that it is a case of honour killing. It appears that no evidence regarding involvement of the deceased with any one has been gathered during Crl. Misc. No.M-7233 of 2011 -2- investigation. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the deceased had committed suicide and her brothers and grandmother were taking her to hospital when they were intercepted. Without expression of any opinion on the merits of the case, it is sufficient to observe that prima facie there are contradictions in the inquest report and the medical evidence and observations made at the time of preparation of inquest report and from the evidence collected there does not appear to be any motive for the petitioner to commit the offence of honour killing. The petitioner has been in custody w.e.f. 2.09.2010. The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court. (M.M.S.
