Notice of motion has been issued in this case. 3. Mr. S.S. Chandumajra, learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab has put in appearance on behalf of the respondent-State and contested this petition. 4. I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Deputy Advocate General, Punjab appearing for the respondent-State and have gone through the record. 5. The petitioner has already joined the investigation. There is no mention of dowry articles in the FIR which were given at the time of marriage. Even during the arguments, learned counsel for the State has argued that there is no list of dowry articles. Only in the statement, there is mention that one gold ‘Kara’ and one ring had been given to the present petitioner. 6. Keeping in view the facts and circumstances of the present case, the petitioner is not required for custodial interrogation. No useful purpose will be served by sending the petitioner to custody. He has only to face the trial before the trial Court. 7.
