This anticipatory bail application under Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Sections 498A/34 of IPC and section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act in connection with Complaint Case No. 1625 of 2023 pending in the Court of S.D.J.M, Koderma. 3. Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 4. The petitioner is the husband. There is an allegation of demand of dowry and torture. 5. Admitted fact is that this case arises out of a complaint. In a complaint case, there is no question of custodial interrogation. The only fact which the Court has to be assured of is whether the accused will face the trial or not or whether there is any chance of tampering with the evidence. 2025:JHHC:13759 2 6. The impugned order does not suggest any of the aforesaid situation. Thus in a compliant case, there is no necessity of custodial interrogation. The petitioner is directed to appear before the trial Court and take necessary steps to file his bail bonds. 7. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of. (ANANDA SEN, J.)
