IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No.M-37902 of 2011. Date of decision: December 15, 2011. Neelam Rani .. Petitioner VERSUS State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE M.M.S.BEDI * * * PRESENT Mr.S.K.Arora, Adv., for the petitioner. M.M.S.BEDI, J (ORAL). Petitioner apprehends arrest in a case registered at the instance of Darshan Singh, father of Neeta Kumari alleging that his daughter who was married to Pardeep Kumar died an unnatural death in her matrimonial home. There are allegations of demand of dowry by her in-laws. The petitioner is mother-in-law of the deceased. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the deceased was staying separately with son of the petitioner and that the story of the prosecution that the incident had taken place in the presence of the complainant and his son, is apparently improbable on the face of it. I have heard the counsel for the petitioner. It will not be appropriate, at this stage, to determine the strength or weakness of the prosecution version in view of the fact that the deceased had died an unnatural death and that it was within 7 years of marriage. The investigation is at initial stage. The arguments raised by the counsel for the petitioner may constitute good ground for the grant of regular bail but no extra ordinary exceptional circumstances exist to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Dismissed. (M.M.S.BEDI) JUDGE December 15, 2011. rka
