JUSTICE RAM CHAND GUPTA Present:- Mr. M.P.S. Mann, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr. K.D. Sachdeva, Addl.A.G. Punjab. Mr. Naresh Kaushal, Advocate for the complainant. RAM CHAND GUPTA J.(Oral) The present petition under Section 438 Cr.P.C. has been filed by the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail in case FIR No.10 dated 28.1.2010, under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, registered at Police Station Women Cell, Mohali, Phase-VIII. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the whole record carefully. Brief allegations are that marriage of complainant was performed with the petitioner on 10.2.2007. However, after few months of marriage, there was demand of dowry. Complainant was turned out of matrimonial home in the month of June 2007 after giving her beatings. Thereafter, father of complainant arranged Rs.2,50,000/- and the same were paid to the petitioner and his parents. However, harassment continued. There was demand of car as well. Complainant was having five months pregnancy when in Criminal Misc.No. M- 12541 of 2010 -2- February 2008, she was again given merciless beatings and tortured by the present petitioner in the house at Zirakpur and due to physical violence, left eye of the complainant was damaged. She delivered a child on 24.5.2008 in the house of her parents and the entire expenses were met by her father. There are allegations of mental as well as physical cruelty being committed upon complainant by the present petitioner. In view of these facts, it is not such a case, in which extra-ordinary relief of anticipatory bail should be granted to the petitioner-accused- Karamvir Singh. Hence, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the petition for anticipatory bail filed by petitioner-Karamvir Singh is dismissed. August 17, 2010 ( RAM CHAND GUPTA ) vj JUDGE
