IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Cr.Misc. 36407 M of 2009 Date of decision:- 29.1.2010 Misrupi petitioner vs State of Haryana Respondent Present: Mr. RK Kataria, Advocate. Ms. Shobra Singh, DAG, Hry M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a case, registered at the instance of Salma alleging that she had been maltreated by her husband and other family members. The petitioner happens to be unmarried sister- in-law of the complainant. The brother of the petitioner, after having been tried, stands acquitted. Without expression of any opinion regarding reasons for non appearance of the petitioner before the court concerned, resulting in her declaration as a proclaimed offender, it is sufficient to observe here that the petitioner appears to be minor on the date of commission of offence and that no useful purpose will be served by sending her behind bars. The petition is allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, she will be admitted to bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer, subject to the condition that she will appear before the court of competent jurisdiction as and when called for to face trial pursuant to the supplementary challan, if any.
