CRM No.M-24604 of 2014 It is contended that the dispute in question is between family members. Petitioner - Kamaljeet Kaur is sought to be implicated due to strained relations between the complainant - Jasmail Kaur and her husband - Harnek Singh i.e., the petitioner in Crl.Misc. No.M-25255 of 2014. Kamaljeet Kaur is averred to be the daughter of Jasmail Kaur and Harnek Singh. Petitioners are stated to have joined investigation pursuant to interim orders dated 23.07.2014 and 28.07.2014. No useful purpose would be served by taking them in custody.

Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from HC Jaspal Singh, confirms and verifies that the petitioners have indeed joined investigation and they are no longer required for custodial interrogation. This matter was adjourned on 13.11.2014 on the request of learned counsel for the complainant. Today, none has put in appearance on her behalf. There are no allegations on behalf of the State that petitioners are likely to abscond or that they are likely to dissuade the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that the petitioners are no longer required for custodial interrogation and dispute is inter-se the family members but without commenting or expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, it is considered just and expedient to allow both the petitions.

Consequently, interim orders dated 23.07.2014 in CRM No.M-24604 of 2014 and 28.07.2014 in CRM No.M-25255 of 2014 are made absolute. ( LISA GILL ) January 5, 2015.
