She was badly beaten up by her<\/p>\n<p>husband along with others and she was turned out of matrimonial home.<\/p>\n<p>Jagjit Singh and his father Mehar Singh raised a demand of another amount<\/p>\n<p>of Rs.2 lacs for the purchase of land. The deceased was sent back to her<\/p>\n<p>paternal house. Her father sent Rs.1 lac to Jagjit Singh, his father and his<\/p>\n<p>mother Swaran Kaur through Nirmal Singh. A week before her death, the<\/p>\n<p>deceased telephoned her father that her father-in-law was demanding Zen<\/p>\n<p>Car. On 23.12.2006 at 11:15 A.M, Nirmal Singh informed the complainant<\/p>\n<p>that his daughter was beaten up at night for the demand of more dowry and<br \/>\n Criminal Misc. No. M-32889 of 2009 (O&amp;M)                     -2-\n<\/p>\n<p>subsequently, she was killed by pressing her neck by her husband Jagjit<\/p>\n<p>Singh, her father-in-law Mehar Singh, her mother-in-law Sawarn Kaur and<\/p>\n<p>her sister-in-law Paramjit Kaur.\n<\/p>\n<p>            I have heard the learned counsel for the parties, besides<\/p>\n<p>perusing the record with due care and circumspection.<\/p>\n<p>            As per the post mortem report, the cause of death is due to<\/p>\n<p>asphyxia as a result of hanging which is sufficient to cause death in the<\/p>\n<p>ordinary course of nature. If the petitioner is admitted to bail, he may<\/p>\n<p>abscond or tamper with the prosecution evidence. This apart, obviously the<\/p>\n<p>allegations levelled against him are of very serious nature. Such being the<\/p>\n<p>circumstances, I do not deem it a fit case to bestow the concession of bail<\/p>\n<p>upon the petitioner. As such, this petition is dismissed.<\/p>\n<pre>August 27, 2009                                    ( HARBANS LAL )\nrenu                                                    JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Jagjit Singh vs State Of Punjab on 27 August, 2009 Criminal Misc.
