Prayer in the present petition is for grant of anticipatory bail to the
petitioners, who are accused in FIR No. 245 dated 13.6.2009, registered under
Sections 406/498-A and 506 IPC, Police Station Sadar, Amritsar.
The FIR in question was registered on account of matrimonial
dispute between petitioner No. 2 and his wife – Samita Sharma. It is not disputed
that the petitioners have joined the investigation. The fact remains that because of
certain settlement earlier between the parties, they had shifted to Delhi. However,
there also, the position did not improve. There are allegations and counter-
allegations. The complainant herein filed a complaint with the police at Delhi
against the petitioners. However, the same was not pursued there.
Considering the aforesaid facts, in my opinion, custodial
interrogation of the petitioners is not required. Accordingly, the interim order
passed by this Court on 6.8.2009 is made absolute.
The petition stands disposed of.
