TAPINDER SINGH MANN 2016.08.05 17:10 IN THE HIGH COURT FOR THE STATES OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH.

Cr. Misc. M 2020 of 2016 Date of decision: 5.8.2016 Naina Bansal Petitioner vs.

State of Haryana Respondent

Present:

Mr. RS Rai, Sr. Advocate with Mr. Sachin Gupta, Advocate.

Mr. CS Bakshi, Addl.A.G. Haryana M.M.S.BEDI,J.

Pursuant to the interim order passed by this court, the petitioner has joined the investigation. All the relevant documents, record and ultra sound machine have already been taken into possession by the raiding party.

A perusal of the police file indicates that the petitioner has been indicted as an accused on the basis of statement of decoy witnesses Sarita and Renu but there is no material on record till date indicating that the petitioner was responsible for giving any report pertaining to sex determination of the fetus of the decoy. It does not appear to be a case of custodial interrogation, if seen in context to the nature of the allegations levelled.

Accordingly, the petition is allowed and it is ordered that in case of arrest of the petitioner, she will be released on bail to the satisfaction of the arresting officer subject to the condition that she will join the investigation as and when required by the police and will not tamper with evidence or hamper the investigation. The petitioner will not indulge in any activity, which would constitute violation of the rules framed under the PNDT Act.
