Crl. Misc. No.M-8274 of 2010 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH. Crl. Misc. No.M-8274 of 2010 Date of Decision: 22.03.2010 Om Parkash ....Petitioner Versus State of Haryana ...Respondent CORAM : Hon'ble Ms. Justice Nirmaljit Kaur Present:- Mr. Naresh Kumar Sanghi, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. Rakesh Nehra, Advocate ***** 1. Whether Reporters of Local Newspapers may be allowed to see the judgment ? 2. To be referred to the Reporters or not ? 3. Whether the judgment should be reported in the Digest ? ** NIRMALJIT KAUR, J. (ORAL) This is a petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C for grant of concession of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.50 dated 18.02.2010 under Sections 376, 506 and 120-B IPC registered at Police Station City Bahadurgarh, District Jhajjar. Learned counsel for the petitioner contended that the occurrence is of 21.11.2009. In fact, the matter was compromised in December 2009 and in pursuance to the said compromise, a sum of Rs.3.5 lacs were received by the prosecutrix. However, in spite of the above, the said FIR was registered on 18.02.2010. In the instant case, the allegation against the present petitioner is of raping his own daughter-in-law. The allegations are serious. In fact, after committing of said Crl. Misc. No.M-8274 of 2010 2 offence, he locked the prosecutrix in the premises and confined her so that she does not have any mobile facility and landline facility to inform anyone. He had kept his evil design upon her right from the beginning. In case, these allegations are true, the same amounts to heinous conduct on the part of the petitioner and is an offence against the society. The delay in such a case is not fatal. No girl would make such an allegation as made in the present petition. A compromise, if any, in such matters cannot absolve the petitioner of an offence of such a nature. Thus, the concession of anticipatory bail cannot be extended to the present petitioner. At this stage, learned counsel stated that the interim bail has been granted to Vidya Devi. However, the case and allegations against Vidya Devi are different from the present petitioner. Dismissed accordingly. (NIRMALJIT KAUR) Judge 22.03.2010 gurpreet
