AT CHANDIGARH CRM-M-56532-2024 Date of Decision : November 19, 2024 SUNITA ALIAS CHUHI ALIAS SUNEETA -PETITIONER V/S STATE OF PUNJAB -RESPONDENT

CORAM:

HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE KULDEEP TIWARI

Present:

Mr. Manoj R. Sharma, Advocate for the petitioner.

Mr. Pardeep Bajaj, D.A.G., Punjab.

*** KULDEEP TIWARI, J. (ORAL) 1.

Through the instant petition, prayer is made for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, in case FIR No.156 dated 19.10.2024, under Sections 221/132/121(1)/262/263(a)/61(2) of the B.N.S., registered at P.S. Dinanagar, District Gurdaspur.

2.

Succinctly stated, the allegations against the petitioner are that, in order to get released one accused Amarjit @ Ammu from police custody, who was apprehended in FIR No.154 dated 18.10.2024, she along with her co-accused obstructed the police officials from discharging their duties and also attacked upon them. In this way, the petitioner and her co-accused not only got released accused Amarjit @ Ammu but also gave beatings to the police officials.

3.

What is also relevant to record here is that, in the instant petition, which is supported by petitioner's affidavit, the petitioner claims DEVINDER YADAV 2024.11.19 16:01 I attest to the accuracy and authenticity of this order/judgment

CRM-M-56532-2024 herself to be involved in four other cases registered under the N.D.P.S. Act, however, the learned State counsel, on instructions imparted to him by A.S.I. Naresh Kumar, disputes the said fact and submits that, in fact, the petitioner is involved in 28 more cases, which includes cases registered under the Excise Act, N.D.P.S. Act and two cases involving offence under Section 304 of the IPC.

4.

Taking into account the gravity of the allegations that, the petitioner was a member of the unruly mob, which attacked upon the police officials and got released one accused from police custody, coupled with the concealment qua criminal antecedents of the petitioner, this Court does not deem it a fit and deserving case for granting the extraordinary relief of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 5.

In summa, the instant petition is dismissed.
