Heard the parties.
This Criminal Miscellaneous Petition has been filed invoking the jurisdiction of this Court under Section 439(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure with a prayer to cancel the anticipatory bail granted to the opposite party No.2 in terms of the order dated 27.03.2019 passed in A.B.A. No.1563 of 2019 in connection with Rehla Police Station Case No.49 of 2018 corresponding to G.R. No.779 of 2019 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 325, 498-A, 504, 506, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and 3/4 of the D.P. Act, now pending in the Court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Palamau at Daltonganj.
The brief fact of the case is that the opposite party No.2 was given the privileges of anticipatory bail with the condition that he will keep and maintain the petitioner with full honor and dignity as his lawful wife.
Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 and the opposite party no.2 who is present in the Court in person submits that the opposite party no.2 is still ready and willing to keep and maintain the petitioner with full honor and dignity as his lawful wife, but as the petitioner is not ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the opposite party no.2 only to harass the opposite party no.2, this false case has been foisted.
Perusal of the record reveals that on 20.12.2024, it was agreed to between the parties that both the parties shall remain present physically in this Court today that is on 17.01.2025 and the opposite party no.2 will take the petitioner to his house for resuming conjugal life.
Learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 paid cost of Rs.1,000/- to the
learned counsel for the petitioner in the record towards expenses to be incurred by the petitioner to come personally from Dandiya Kala in the district of Palamau to Ranchi on 17.01.2025.
Today, the opposite party no.2 present in the court in person but the petitioner is absent.
Learned senior counsel for the petitioner returns Rs.1,000/- taken by the
learned counsel for the petitioner to meet the expenses of the petitioner travelling from Dandiya Kala to Ranchi to the opposite party no.2; which is received by the opposite party no.2.
Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that since the petitioner is apprehensive, because of the past conduct of the opposite party no.2 that the opposite party no.2 may not keep her with full dignity and honor, hence, she is not ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the opposite party no.2.
Since, the only condition imposed upon the opposite party no.2 while being granted the anticipatory bail was that he will keep and maintain the petitioner with full honor and dignity as his lawful wife which the opposite party no.2 is still ready and willing to comply, but the petitioner is not ready and willing to resume conjugal life, so this Court is of the considered view that this is a frivolous petition, being the devoid of any merit.
Accordingly, this Criminal Miscellaneous Petition is dismissed with warning to the petitioner not to file this type of frivolous petition in the future.
