IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Criminal Misc. No. M-27839 of 2009 (O/M). Date of Decision : November 04, 2009. Malkit Singh ...... Petitioner(s). Versus. The State of Punjab ..... Respondent(s). CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH. Present:- Mr. Bhanu Pratap Singh, Advocate, for the petitioner(s). Mr. Aman Deep Singh Rai, A.A.G. Punjab, for respondent-State. AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH, J. (ORAL). Counsel for the petitioner states that in compliance of the order dated 14.10.2009, passed by this Court, the petitioner had joined the investigation. This fact is not disputed by counsel for respondent-State on instructions from H.C. Sparan Singh, Police Station Women Cell, Bathinda. He, however, submits that recovery of cash, i.e., Rs. 30,000/- and one gold ring, have to be effected from the petitioner. I have heard counsel for the parties and have gone through the records of the case. The petitioner is father-in-law of daughter of the complainant. The ring, which is stated to be recovered from the petitioner, according to the prosecution, belongs to the daughter-in-law of the petitioner, which obviously the petitioner would not have. As far as cash is concerned, the Criminal Misc. No. M-27839 of 2009. same would be with husband and not with father-in-law, so recovery, if any, may have to be effected from the husband. In view of the above, order dated 14.10.2009 is hereby confirmed. However, the petitioner shall be bound by the provisions of Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. (AUGUSTINE GEORGE MASIH) JUDGE November 04, 2009. sjks. -2-
