IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Crl.Misc.No.M-9553 of 2011 DATE OF DECISION: May 16, 2011 Jaswant Kaur …..Petitioner versus State of Punjab .....Respondent CORAM:- HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJAN GUPTA Present: Mr.Dhirinder Chopra, Advocate for the petitioner Mr.Shilesh Gupta, DAG, Punjab .. RAJAN GUPTA, J.: (Oral) This is a petition under section 439 Cr.P.C. seeking regular bail in a case registered against the petitioner under section 306 IPC vide FIR No.17 dated 17.2.2011 at police station Meharban, District Ludhiana. Learned counsel for the petitioner contends that from a perusal of the FIR, offence under section 306 IPC is not made out. There is nothing on record to show that petitioner abetted commission of suicide by the deceased in any manner. He has also referred to inquiry report (Annexure P-23). He submits that in view of same, petitioner is entitled to concession of bail. Learned State counsel has opposed the prayer for bail. He submits that there is sufficient evidence with the investigating agency indicating involvement of the petitioner in the commission of crime. Crl.Misc.No.M-9553 of 2011 - 2 - A perusal of the inquiry report, which learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to, shows that it has been observed therein that during the period Harwinder Kaur (deceased) was being treated, neither her husband Lakhwinder Singh nor her mother-in-law Jaswant Kaur (petitioner herein) came to meet her nor they bore any expenses for her treatment. On the other hand, they sent her summons of a divorce petition during this period. This perturbed her and she consumed chlorocompound and committed suicide. In view of nature of allegations, I am of the considered view that petitioner is not entitled to concession of bail. Petition is without any merit and is hereby dismissed.
