Crl. Misc. No.M-21495 of 2011 [1] IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No. M-21495 of 2011 Date of Decision: July 19, 2011 Sameer Bajaj …..Petitioner Vs. State of Haryana …..Respondent CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE M.M.S. BEDI. -.- Present:- Mr.Sanjay Jain, Advocate for the petitioner. -.- M.M.S. BEDI, J. (ORAL) The petitioner seeks the concession of pre-arrest bail in a case registered at the instance of complainant- Vandana, alleging that the petitioner had treated her with cruelty. There are specific allegations of demand of dowry and beating. Not only this, there is a specific allegation against the petitioner that he had obtained an ex-parte decree of divorce in June 2009 and had remarried Neetu with whom he had relations prior to the marriage. There are allegations of adultery and remarriage. Crl. Misc. No.M-21495 of 2011 [2] Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner had remarried after obtaining a legal decree of divorce. The complainant has initiated proceedings under the Domestic Violence Act in 2009. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and gone through the nature of the allegations against the petitioner and find that there are absolutely no extra-ordinary exceptional circumstances exist to grant the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the Sessions Court has declined the concession of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner only on the ground that certain dowry articles are yet to be recovered and that the petitioner is always ready and willing to handover the dowry articles by joining investigation. The said plea of the counsel for the petitioner does not constitute a ground for the concession of pre-arrest bail taking into consideration the overall conduct of the petitioner, who, prima facie, seems to have abused the process of law besides treating the complainant in a cruel manner. The petition is dismissed. July 19, 2011 (M.M.S.BEDI) sanjay JUDGE
