1 S.B. Cr. Bail Application No. 1397/2008 (Smt. Kamla Joshi Vs. State of Rajasthan) Date of order : 22.04.2008 HON'BLE MR.H.R.PANWAR,J. Mr. Suresh Kumbhat for the petitioner. Mr. Ashok Upadhyay, P.P. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and public prosecutor for the State. Perused the order impugned and police investigation diary as also statement of first informant Smt. Dimpal. It is contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the husband of the complainant has been arrested and dowry articles have been recovered and if at all there is any allegation, it is only against the husband and so far as the petitioner is concerned, she is mother-in-law. On perusal of the statement of the complainant Smt. Dimpal, it appears that mainly the allegations are against the present petitioner and her son who happens to be the husband of the complainant. The statement of the complainant clearly goes to show that she was subjected to cruelty and harassment and given merciless beating by the petitioner and her son, so much so, very recently, just before filing of the FIR on 26.2.2008, it is alleged that the petitioner has given merciless beating to the complainant in connection with demand of dowry, more particularly, demand of 10 tolas of gold and Rs. 2 lac cash etc. Keeping in view the serious allegation against the present petitioner which corroborates from the injury report of 2 the complainant, in my view, it is not a rarest of rare or exceptional case warranting grant of anticipatory bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C. The bail application filed by the petitioner under Section 438 Cr.P.C. is therefore, dismissed. (H.R.PANWAR), J. rp
