Prayer in this petition is for grant of anticipatory bail to the
petitioner in FIR No. 189 dated 05.10.2017 under Section 354 IPC
registered at Police Station Sadar, Jalalabad, District Fazilka.
As per the allegations in the FIR, the complainant had gone to
pay obeisance at the Gurudwara Sahib. While she was taking prashad, the
petitioner sneaked up behind her, caught hold of her and started outraging
her modesty.
Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from HC
Charanjit Singh, submits that the said incident has been captured in the
CCTV footage of the Gurudwara Sahib.
Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case, I do
not find any ground whatsoever to afford the concession of anticipatory bail
to the petitioner.
Dismissed.
