LISA GILL, J. (Oral)

It is submitted that FIR No. 33 dated 22.03.2017 was initially

that offence under Section 354 of the IPC is made out instead

of offence under Section 354-A of the IPC. Accordingly,

offence punishable under Section 354 was inserted on

17.05.2017.”

Learned counsel submits that the petitioner is the father-in-law

of the complainant. He has been falsely implicated in this case because of

his relationship with the husband of the complainant. It is further submitted

that the petitioner has since joined investigation. He is ready and willing to

face trial and shall not abuse the concession of anticipatory bail in any

manner if granted to him. Therefore, this petition be allowed.

Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from ASI

Bhupinder Singh, informs that the petitioner has indeed joined investigation

pursuant to interim orders passed by this Court and his custodial

interrogation is not required. No recovery is to be effected from him. It is

verified that he is not involved in any other case. There is no allegation that

the petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is likely to dissuade the

witnesses from deposing true facts before the learned trial Court, if released

on bail.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case but

without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, it is considered

just and expedient to allow this petition. Consequently, order dated

24.07.2017 is made absolute.
