I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab appearing for the respondentHARPAL SINGH PARMAR 2016.07.15 17:10 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

Cr. Misc. No.M-14093 of 2016 [2] State and learned counsel for the complainant and have gone through the record.

From the record, I find that the complainant is the mother of the present petitioner. It is a run away couple case. The allegations against the petitioner are that while eloping with one Varinder Singh, she had taken ` Seven lakhs, gold ornaments etc. from the house. The petitioner has already joined the investigation. The petitioner is not required for custodial interrogation. Learned State counsel stated that no recovery has been effected as the petitioner states that no such money and articles had been taken by her. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioner to custody.

Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case; without discussing the facts in minute detail and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find merit in this petition and the same is allowed. The interim order dated 27.4.2016 passed by this Court granting interim bail to the petitioner is made absolute. However, the petitioner shall join the investigation as and when called upon to do so and shall abide by the conditions of Section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. July 14, 2016.
