Dhillon, Advocate for the complainant. ******* AJAY TEWARI, J. (ORAL) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.50 dated 08.03.2011 registered under Sections 304B IPC at Police Station Sahnewal, District Ludhiana. On 25.07.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel for the petitioner states that the deceased was earlier the wife of the elder brother of the petitioner who died after 12 years and thereafter she was married to the petitioner and during all this time there was no allegation of harassment on the ground of dowry. He further states that she consumed some poisonous substance admittedly in the absence of the petitioner and the petitioner had taken her to hospital.” Apart from that the learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the petitioner has now been in custody since 10.03.2011. On instructions from ASI Narender Kumar learned Deputy Advocate General as well as learned counsel for the complainant has accepted these factual assertions. However, it has been argued that the petitioner being the husband is not entitled for the concession of bail. Crl. Misc. No.M-21981 of 2011 (O&M) -2- In my considered opinion, in the peculiar facts of the present case, it would be in the interest of justice to grant bail to the petitioner to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) August 29, 2011 JUDGE ashish
