1. Copy of the Statement under Section 183 B.N.S. and C.D. Parcha No.6 dated 29.9.2024, produced by the learned AGA, are taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. This application under section 482 B.N.S.S. has been filed seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime No.60 of 2024, under sections 85, 75, 77, 117(2) 115(2), 64, 62, 316(2) B.N.S., P.S. Mahila Thana, District Meerut. 4. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the instant case. The applicant is the father-in-law of the informant/victim. During the course of investigation by C.D. Parcha No. 6 dated 29.9.2024 the investigating officer has dropped section 64 and 62 B.N.S. He further submits that a matrimonial dispute between the parties has been given colour of criminal case. The son of the applicant has already filed an application under Section 9 of Hindu Marriage Act on 21.8.2024. Reliance has also been placed on the report of the inspector of P.S. T.P. Nagar addressed to the S.S.P., Meerut wherein it is recorded that the informant/ victim had been filing false complaints against the applicant. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. It is next submitted that the investigation is going on and the applicant has apprehension of his arrest in the above mentioned case. 5. Learned A.G.A. for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail but could not satisfactorily dispute the aforesaid submissions from the record. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the application for grant of anticipatory bail be confined only till the submission of police report. 7.
Having regard to the submissions made by learned counsel for the applicant, considering the nature of accusations and antecedents of the applicant and in particular the fact that a matrimonial dispute exists between co-accused Keshav and the informant, the applicant is the father-in-law, the fact that the inspector of Police Station T.P. Nagar has submitted a report to the S.S.P., Meerut that the informant
had been filing false complaints against the applicant, without commenting on merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on anticipatory bail till the submission of police report. 8. In the event of arrest, the applicant Srichand be released on anticipatory bail in the aforesaid case crime till the submission of police report, if any, under section 193 (3) B.N.S.S., on furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- with two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer of the police station concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall make himself available for interrogation by a police officer as and when required; (ii) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer; (iii) The applicant shall not leave India without the previous permission of the Court and if he has passport, the same shall be deposited by him before the S.S.P./S.P. concerned. 9. In default of any of the conditions, the Investigating Officer is at liberty to file appropriate application for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted to the applicant. 10.
The Investigating Officer is directed to conclude the investigation of the present case in accordance with law expeditiously preferably within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this order independently without being prejudiced by any observation made by this Court while considering and deciding the present anticipatory bail application of the applicant. 11. The applicant is directed to produce a copy of this order before the S.S.P./S.P. concerned within ten days from today, who shall ensure the compliance of present
