CRM No. M-14901 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-14901 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 28.05.2009 Sukhvir Kaur ...Petitioner Versus The State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. A.K. Khunger, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This is a petition for grant of anticipatory bail in a case registered against the petitioner under Section 306 IPC, vide FIR No.32 dated 10th May, 2009 at Police Station GRP, Bathinda. The allegations in the FIR are that the petitioner was married to the deceased Lakhvir Singh. She was having illicit relations with one Jagmeet Singh. The deceased caught his wife Sukhvir Kaur (petitioner) in a compromising position with Jagmeet Singh. He took objection to her activities and tried to stop her from the same. He told her that her illicit relations with Jagmeet Singh were defaming the entire family in the village. However, his wife (petitioner) instead of stopping, told that she would not stop and deceased was free to do whatever he liked. Resultantly, the deceased Lakhvir Singh committed suicide by jumping before a train. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the CRM No. M-14901 of 2009 2 petitioner has been falsely implicated. The story made out in the FIR does not inspire any confidence as no suicidal note was recovered from the deceased. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. The complaint was lodged by father of deceased Jagmeet Singh. In his complaint he has described relationship between his daughter-in-law and Jagmeet Singh. He has clearly alleged that his son Lakhvir Singh was quite disturbed over relationship of Sukhvir Kaur and Jagmeet Singh. Various attempts to prevail upon Sukhvir Kaur to mend her ways were made. However, all efforts failed. On the other hand, she told her husband that she would not stop and he could do whatever he liked. It is clear that the deceased was upset over defamation of the entire family in the village due to illicit relationship of his wife with Jagmeet Singh. The allegations in the FIR are serious in nature. It cannot be said at this stage that offence under Section 306 IPC is not made out. I do not find it a fit case for grant of concession of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. This petition is hereby dismissed. (RAJAN GUPTA) JUDGE May 28, 2009 'rajpal'
