State of Haryana .....Respondent CORAM: HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present: Mr.Dinesh Arora, Advocate for the petitioners. ...... RAM CHAND GUPTA, J.(Oral) Crl.M.No.54415 of 2010 Application is allowed subject to all just exceptions. Crl.M.No.M-30429 of 2010 The present petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. read with Section 482 Cr.P.C. is for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case FIR No.276, dated 29.6.2010, under Sections 498-A, 406, 506, 376, 120-B IPC, registered at Police Station City Jagadhri, District Yamuna Nagar. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners and have gone through the whole record carefully, including the impugned orders passed by learned Additional Sessions Judge, Yamuna Nagar at Jagadhri, vide which applications filed on behalf of the present petitioners for anticipatory bail were dismissed. Brief allegations against the petitioners-accused are that marriage of complainant Ruby was performed with petitioner no.1-Ajit Walia on 4.2.2007. Sufficient dowry was given in the marriage by parents of the complainant. However, petitioners and other family members were not satisfied and they started harassing her. There are allegations of mental Crl.M.No.M-30429 of 2010 (O&M) -2- as well as physical torture against the petitioners-accused and other family members. There are specific allegations that complainant was sexually harassed by her father-in-law, i.e., petitioner-accused no.2 and when she disclosed this fact to her husband, she was given beatings by him. According to the complainant she tolerated the sexual harassment and beatings at the instance of her father-in-law, i.e., petitioner no.2 in the hope that things will improve with the passage of time. Panchayat was also convened twice, but to no effect. There are serious allegations against the petitioners-accused. It is not such a case in which extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioners-accused. Hence, in view of these facts, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the present petition filed by petitioners- Ajit Walia and Sultan Walia for grant of anticipatory bail is, hereby, dismissed being devoid of any merit. 14.10.2010 (Ram Chand Gupta) meenu Judge
