CORAM: HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE JAISHREE THAKUR

Present:

Mr.J.S. Sandhu, Advocate, for the petitioner.

Mrs. Anju Arora, Addl. A.G., Punjab.

Mr. Arihant Jain, Advocate, for the complainant.

**** JAISHREE THAKUR, J. (ORAL) This is a petition that has been filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in case FIR No. 81 dated 06.07.2016, under Sections 406, 498-A, 354, 34 IPC, registered at Police Station City Sunam, District Sangrur.

Learned counsel for the petitioner would contend that the allegations as set out in the FIR are not sustainable while arguing that the petitioners have joined the investigation pursuant to the order dated 21.07.2016. It is also submitted that the matter has been investigated, challan has been presented in the Court and thereafter charges have been framed against the petitioners and they are facing trial and, therefore, no useful purpose would be served, if the interim bail granted is not made absolute.
