2. Two cases have been filed with regard to the same occurrence, one by the present informant and other by petitioner no. 1, who is the informant in the other case.
3. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in a
2/4 case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302, 120B of the Indian Penal Code.
4. There is an allegation in the complaint filed by the present complainant/informant that all the accused persons came variously armed to the house of the informant and on the order of petitioner no. 1 to kill the complainant's daughter, the petitioner no. 2 and petitioner no. 4 pressed her neck and when Rahul, the son of the petitioner no. 1 intervened to save her, petitioner no. 3 stabbed him too with the knife, as a result of which the complainant's daughter died on the spot while Rahul, the son of petitioner no. 1, died subsequently in the hospital.
5. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that a bare reading of the complaint would go to show that the present case is one of honor killing and the son of the informant himself is responsible for the death of the two deceased persons. It has been pointed out that although the date of occurrence of the present case is 05.11.2022, the present complaint has come to be filed after unexplained and inordinate delay, on 20.12.2022 and the First Information Report based thereupon has been registered on 21.01.2024. In contrast to the same, the case filed on behalf of the petitioner no. 1 has been filed on the same day i.e. on 05.11.2022 and in the said case, the charge-sheet has
3/4 already been submitted against the main accused Abhimanyu @ Mannu who happens to be the brother of the deceased girl and who is lying in custody and the trial has also commenced. It has further been submitted that materials collected during the course of investigation would also disclose that it is actually the brother of the deceased girl namely Abhimanyu, who has committed both the murders as he got enraged by the love relationship between his sister and the son of the petitioner no. 1, Rahul. The attention of the Court has been invited specifically to the statement of the independent witnesses recorded in para-58 and 59 of the case diary who have completely supported the contention raised on behalf of the petitioners that it is Abhimanyu who is responsible of the death of the two deceased persons of the case. The petitioners have no criminal antecedent.
6. Learned APP for the State has opposed the application for anticipatory bail.
7. Considering all the above mentioned facts and circumstances, let the above named petitioners in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from today, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction
4/4 of the learned court below where the case is pending/successor court in connection with Daraunda P.S. Case No. 10 of 2024, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C./482(2) of the B.N.S.S.
