Punjab and Haryana High Court:<\/strong>\u00a0 Fateh Deep Singh, J. allowed the application of bail on the ground that petitioner was behind the bar and that culpability will be determined during the trial which was not going to be concluded in near future.<\/p>\n

A petition for regular bail was made for the offence under Sections 342, 354B, 376, 511\/34, 450 of the Penal Code, 1860.<\/p>\n

The facts of the case were that the accused petitioner and his sons forcibly took the complainant into a room, tore off her clothes, abused her, tried to violate her and gave her beatings against which the FIR was made the very next day of the incident.<\/p>\n

G.C. Shahpuri, counsel for the petitioner argued that bare perusal of the FIR would show that no allegation of actual rape has come about and being a pure case of matrimonial dispute, in which the petitioner has no role to play except that he happens to have intervened into the matrimonial dispute, he has been falsely implicated. Thus, prayed for the anticipatory bail.<\/p>\n

Baljinder S. Virk, Deputy Advocate General, stoutly opposed the grant of relief on the grounds that if allowed bail the petitioner might stifle the trial.<\/p>\n

The High Court opined that no useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioner in the custody as petitioner was already behind the bars for more than seven months and culpability shall be determined at the end of the trial which was not likely to conclude in the near future.\u00a0 It was also instructed that anything observed herein shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case.<\/em> Thus, ordered the release of petitioner on regular bail.
