JUSTICE KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA Present: Mr. J.S. Dadwal, Advocate for the petitioner. KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA, J. (ORAL) Present petition has been filed under Section 482 Cr.P.C. seeking quashing of the FIR No. 127 dated 10.06.2006 registered at Police Station Sadar Ludhiana under Sections 406, 498-A IPC. Petitioner is sister of husband of the complainant respondent No.2 estranged wife. She was found innocent during investigation and was placed in column No. 2. Trial Court summoned the petitioner under Section 319 Cr.P.C. Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that there are no specific allegations against the petitioner. On an observation made that what is the evidentiary value of documents and statements relied, can only be determined during trial, counsel for the petitioner has submitted that he may be permitted to withdraw the present petition, but has prayed that Criminal Misc. No. M-9977 of 2009 since the petitioner is married at a far off place, her personal appearance before the trial Court may be exempted. I find merit in this contention. Accordingly, prayer for withdrawal of the present petition is accepted. However, taking into consideration the relationship of the petitioner and the fact that she is married at a far off place, her personal appearance before the trial Court is exempted, subject to her filing an undertaking that she shall cause her appearance as and when required by the trial Court. She shall also file an undertaking that the evidence, if any, recorded in her absence but in the presence of her counsel, shall be binding upon her. The trial Court may incorporate any other conditions in the undertaking to be submitted by the accused. [KANWALJIT SINGH AHLUWALIA] JUDGE April 16, 2009 rps 2
