IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-14050-2011 (O&M) Date of decision:06.07.2011. Surinder Kaur ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR JAIN Present: Mr. Narinder S. Lucky, Advocate, for the petitioner. Mr. P.S.Sidhu, Addl. A.G., Punjab. ***** RAKESH KUMAR JAIN, J. This is a petition filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of bail to the petitioner in a case registered vide FIR No378 dated 23.10.2007, under Sections 306/304-B IPC, P.S. Division No.6, Jalandhar. Learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that the petitioner is 75 years of age and is in custody since 09.02.2011. He further submits that the deceased had committed suicide in the house of her sister at Jalandhar, whereas the petitioner is a resident of Amritsar. It is further submitted that the complainant had also sworn an affidavit to the effect that the petitioner is not involved in the incident which she had admitted in her cross-examination while appearing as PW2. Learned State Counsel, however, submits that the son of the petitioner is still absconding and the case is now fixed for 08.07.2011 for prosecution evidence. However, out of 18, only 5 witnesses have been examined. Without commenting upon merits of the case but keeping in view the facts and circumstances, I find it to be a fit case for grant of regular bail. Hence, the present petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Jalandhar.
