Present:

Mr. Arjun Sheoran, Advocate for the petitioner. Ms. Tanushree DAG Haryana.

RAJAN GUPTA J.

Petitioner seeks concession of regular bail in a case registered against him under sections 302/396/447/120B IPC vide FIR No. 537 dated 08.07.2016 at police station Civil Lines District Karnal. It has been urged before the court that petitioner has no connection with the commission of crime. He has been falsely implicated in the case. Thus, he deserves to be enlarged on bail. Plea has been opposed by learned State counsel on the ground that offence is serious in nature. According to him, petitioner is the main accused.

I have heard learned counsel for the parties and given careful thought to the facts of the case.

FIR was lodged by complainant namely Ravinder Kumar. He stated that he was owner of house no. 529/13 Karnal and was running a cloth shop in Patel Market, Karnal. On 08.07.2016, at about 2.00 P.M. he received a telephonic call from his daughter Niharika that his wife namely Puja was not opening the door of the house despite repeated requests.

CRM M-45585 of 2017 Complainant reached the house and found the door locked from inside. He knocked the door but same was not opened. As a result, he scaled the wall of the house from the back side and found the dead body of his wife in a room. The articles of that room were also scattered and locks of the almirah broken. After registration of FIR, investigation ensued. During the course of investigation, Rohit (petitioner herein) alongwith co-accused Mohit, Geetansh were arrested by the police. They suffered disclosure statement admitting therein the commission of crime.

Keeping in view the nature of allegations and the gravity of crime, no ground for enlarging the petitioner on bail is made out. Dismissed.

Prosecution shall, however, endeavor to conclude its evidence at the earliest.
