Criminal Misc.-M No. 18448 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc.-M No. 18448 of 2011 (O&M) Date of decision: 20.10.2011 Kamaljeet Singh .. Petitioner Vs. State of Punjab .. Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH BINDAL Present: Mr. Sunil Chadha, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K. S. Pannu, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab. ... Rajesh Bindal J. Prayer in the present petition is for grant of bail pending trial to the petitioner. He is in custody since 11.2.2011. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the deceased was married with the petitioner about 8 years prior to the date of incident. One child was born out of the wedlock. The only allegation in the FIR is that the petitioner used to take intoxicants and beat the deceased. The allegations in the FIR do not lead to the conclusion that there was any instigation by the petitioner to the deceased to commit suicide. Any fight in a married life is on account of normal wear and tear. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State submitted that on account of regular harassment by the petitioner and his parents, the deceased was forced to commit suicide. Three days prior to the date of incident also, she had also called her parents telling about the harassment. Considering the seriousness of allegations, the petitioner does not deserve concession of bail. Criminal Misc.-M No. 18448 of 2011 [2] After hearing learned counsel for the parties and considering the allegations in the FIR and the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 11.2.2011, in my opinion, the petitioner deserves concession of bail pending trial. He is directed to be released on furnishing of bail bonds to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate/Duty Magistrate, Ludhiana. The petition stands disposed of.
