Respondent No. 5 (petitioner in CRM -M -44302 -2013) is husband of the
petitioner. In CRM -44302 -2013, Parneet Singh Swani has sought
pre -arrest bail under Section 438 Cr.P.C.
(2.) BOTH these petitions arise out of FIR No. 115 dated 6.9.2013 registered under Sections 406/498 -A/323/324/506/120 -B IPC (Sections
307 IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961 added lateron) at Police Station Balongi, District SAS Nagar, Mohali. The facts
are being extracted from CRM -M -34512 -2013.
I have heard learned Senior counsel for the petitioner, learned Senior Counsel for private respondents No. 2, 3 and 5, the State
counsel and carefully gone through the record.
(3.) THE learned Senior counsel for the petitioner submitted that the private respondents were arrested on 12.9.2013 at Mumbai in
execution of warrants of arrest issued by the Court of Magistrate at
Mohali. They were produced before the Additional Chief Metropolitan
Magistrate, Mumbai for transit remand at 1.25 p.m. The respondents
applied for transit bail under Section 439 read with Section 482 Cr.P.C.
before the Bombay High Court. The factum of filing bail was brought to
the notice of Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate, Mumbai. The
Bombay High Court allowed the application vide order dated 12.9.2013
(Annexure P -9) and it was directed that the respondents be released on
bail on furnishing PR bonds in the sum of Rs. 15,000/ -. They were also
directed to furnish cash security in the like amount. The interim bail was
to remain in force for a period of two weeks from 12.9.2013 during which
the respondents could approach the appropriate Court and seek necessary
orders. Since the High Court of Bombay had directed the release of the
respondents after furnishing P.R. Bonds as referred to in the order before
the Cuffe Parade Police Station, Sub -Inspector Nikka Ram who headed
the police party to arrest the respondents was directed to produce them
before the police of Cuffee Parade Police Station in order to make
compliance of the order passed by the Bombay High Court.;
