CRM No. M-6449 of 2009 1 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB & HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. CRM No. M-6449 of 2009 (O&M) Date of decision: 09.03.2009 Rajinder Singh ...Petitioner Versus State of Punjab ...Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr. D.S. Pheruman, Advocate, for the petitioner. Rajan Gupta, J. This petition for grant of regular bail has been preferred by accused Rajinder Singh in a case under Section 302 read with Section 34 IPC, registered at Police Station Tanda, District Hoshiarpur, vide FIR No.17 dated 31st January, 2008. The case was registered on the statement of Manjit Kaur, who alleged that on the fateful day at about 11.30 A.M., two persons with muffled faces came on Hero Honda motor cycle of black colour. One of them caught hold of her and the other put two tablets of black colour in her mouth and also put water thereafter forcibly. Manjit Kaur named her brother-in-law Rajinder Singh (petitioner) and father-in-law Dhian Singh in her statement and said that they used to threaten that she and her family would have to face consequences for getting the case registered against them. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued that the CRM No. M-6449 of 2009 2 petitioner has been disowned by his parents and he had nothing to do with the occurrence in question. He has been falsely implicated in the case. Moreover, no useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in custody during the pendency of the trial. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and given careful thought to the facts of the case. It is evident that the allegations in the FIR are very serious in nature. Manjit Kaur died as a result of the two black tablets, allegedly forced down her throat by petitioner and his father. Keeping in view the fact that a heinous crime has been committed by the petitioner, there is no ground to release him on bail during pendency of trial. The present bail petition is hereby dismissed.
