Crl. Misc. No. M-22685 of 2010 (O&M) 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl. Misc. No. M-22685 of 2010 (O&M) Date of Decision: September 21, 2010 Narinder Kumar and others ........Petitioners Versus Geeta Rani .......Respondent ****** CORAM : HON'BLE MRS. JUSTICE SABINA Present: Mr. M.K. Dogra, Advocate, for the petitioners. Mr. Vikram Chaudhary, Advocate, for the respondent. SABINA, J. Petitioners have filed this petition under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of anticipatory bail in complaint case No.260 dated 25.10.2007 titled as Geeta Rani Vs. Narinder Kumar etc., pending in the court of C.J.M. Amritsar, being a counter blast to the FIR, having been lodged by petitioners against the complainant, bearing No.144 dated 2.5.2007, under Section 306 of Indian Penal Code (in short 'IPC'), Police Station Civil Lines, Amritsar. At the time of issuance of notice of motion on 17.8.2010, the following order was passed by this Court :- "Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the complaint has been filed as an counter blast to the FIR lodged by the petitioners Crl. Misc. No. M-22685 of 2010 (O&M) 2 against the respondent. Notice of motion for 21.9.2010. In the meantime, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the Magistrate and the petitioners shall be released on interim bail subject to the satisfaction of the Magistrate.” Learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that in terms of the above order petitioner have surrendered before the trial Court on 26.8.2010 and have furnished interim bail. Learned counsel for the respondent, on the other hand, has opposed the petition. Keeping in view the fact that the FIR has been lodged by the petitioners' side against the complainant under Section 306 IPC and the complainant has filed the complaint in question against the petitioners under Section 306 IPC, it would be just and expedient to confirm the interim bail granted by this Court. In the State case complainant is stated to be on bail. Accordingly, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the interim bail furnished by the petitioners in terms of the order dated 17.8.2010, passed by this Court, is made absolute. The petition stands disposed of accordingly. (SABINA) September 21, 2010 JUDGE Anand
