Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Taratand P.S. Case No.26 of 2023 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341/323/307/498A/120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 3/4 of the D.P. Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being the husband of the informant-opposite party no.2 treated her with cruelty in connection of demand of dowry and also attempted to murder her. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and because of some marital discord between the petitioner and the informant, this false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that the petitioner is still ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the informant, as and when the informant is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the petitioner. It is then submitted that the Family Court, Giridih has also allowed the prayer of the petitioner for restitution of conjugal life with the informant. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl. P.P. and the learned counsel for the opposite party no.2 opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am of the opinion that it is a fit case where the abovenamed petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. Hence, in the event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, he shall be released on bail on depositing cash security of Rs.25,000/- and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate -1st Class, Giridih, in connection with Taratand P.S.
