IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM No. M-34069 of 2010 Date of decision: 9.2.2011 Jaswant Kaur …. Petitioner Versus State of Punjab and another …. Respondents Present: Mr. L.S. Sidhu, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Kirat Singh Sidhu, DAG, Punjab. Mr. Jugraj S. Khiva, Advocate for the complainant. *** S.S. SARON, J. Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioner seeks pre-arrest bail in a case registered against her on 23.9.2009 for the offences under Sections 420 and 120-B IPC. The petitioners earlier filed CRM No. M-11570 of 2010 for grant of anticipatory bail which was dismissed by this Court vide order dated 6.5.2010. Notice was issued in the present case on 9.12.2010 and meanwhile, it was directed that in the event of the arrest, the petitioner would be admitted to bail. Learned State counsel on instructions from H.C. Bhagwan Dass, Police Station Budhlada has submitted that the petitioner has joined investigation on 19.12.2010. Learned counsel for the petitioner and the complainant submit that the matter has been compromised CRM No. M-34069 of 2010 [2] and a compromise dated 12.11.2010 (Annexure P1) has been entered into between the parties. The case relates to a dispute of landed property situated at village Mandali, Tehsil and District Mansa. The petitioner is a lady aged about 75 years. Keeping in view the fact that the petitioner has joined the investigation and her custody is not required by the police; besides, the fact that she has compromised, it would be just and expedient to confirm the interim bail granted on 09.12.2010. Accordingly, the Crl. Misc. petition is allowed as prayed for and the interim bail granted on 09.12.2010 is made absolute. (S.S. SARON) February 9, 2011 JUDGE amit
