Admittedly, this is second petition for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner in a criminal case arising from FIR No. 67 dated 13.08.2017 under Sections 304-B& 34 of IPC, registered at Police Station Qila Lal Singh, Police District Batala.

The first application for grant of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner was dismissed by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide detailed order on 01.06.2018, which is extracted as under:

"Petitioner is seeking anticipatory bail in FIR No. 67 dated 13.08.2017 registered under Sections 304-B, 34 IPC registered at Police Station Qila Lal Singh, District Gurdaspur. Counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is the husband and he is suffering from polio and it was his second marriage and third marriage of the victim and it was not a case of dowry demand as the marriage was simple.

Criminal Misc. No. M- 24151 of 2020 The counsel also refers to the inquiry report and states that all the other relatives who were named, were given a clean chit and it was not possible for the petitioner who himself is handicapped to administer poison forcibly to the deceased. The State counsel states that the incident had taken place at 7:00 P.M. and the husband was home that evening while the rest of the family were away and allegations have been levelled by the complainant and there was a demand of dowry and taunts were thrown at her for not producing a child.

The allegations against the petitioner are serious. No explanation has come forward as to why the deceased would take her life. No case for anticipatory bail is made out. The petition is dismissed".

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is a proclaimed person.

Keeping in view the aforesaid facts, the present petition, filed by the petitioner for grant of pre-arrest bail, is not maintainable and hence, the same is dismissed.
