**** INDERJIT SINGH, J.

Petitioners have filed this petition under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail in case FIR No.19 dated 19.03.2016 under Sections 306, 420 and 149 IPC registered at Police Station Balianwali, District Bathinda. Notice of motion.

Mr.P.S.Grewal, Deputy Advocate General, Punjab, who is present in the Court, on the asking of the Court, accepted notice on behalf of the respondent-State and contested the petition. Police record is also available.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. From the record, I find that FIR has been got registered by Gurdeep Kaur, mother of the deceased. The main allegation, as per the prosecution, was that the complainant party approached Sukhdev Singh @ Bhola, Sukhpreet Kaur, Veerpal Kaur, Saba and Jagroop Singh for the VINEET GULATI 2016.07.05 11:47 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this document Chandigarh

CRM No.M-20350 of 2016 -2purpose of marriage of Gurmeet Singh. Accused demanded `80,000/- and complainant party paid `43,000/-. The marriage was solemnized with the girl namely Jyoti. The next morning, the girl was not found there and feeling defrauded, Gurmeet Singh committed suicide.

Both the petitioners are ladies. Challan has already been presented. They are no more required for custodial interrogation or investigation. The trial of the case will take long time. No useful purpose will be served by keeping the petitioners in 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, the present petition is allowed and the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail subject to their furnishing personal bonds in the sum of `50,000/- with one surety in the like amount each to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate.
