Opposite Parties ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioners : Mr. Rishikesh Giri, Advocate For the State : Mr. Achinto Sen, Addl. P.P ------ Order No.02 Dated- 24-01-2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending their arrest in connection with Tiruldih P.S. Case No.21 of 2024 instituted under Sections 498A, 313, 323, 341, 504 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3 & 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners respectively being the husband and mother-in-law of the informant/opposite party No.2, treated her with cruelty in connection with demand of dowry. It is submitted that the allegations against the petitioners are all false and general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that because of marital discord between the informant/opposite party No.2 and the petitioner No.1, this false case has been foisted against the petitioners. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the investigation of the case and the petitioner No.1 undertakes to keep and maintain the opposite party No.2 with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife if and when she resumes conjugal life with him and both the petitioners also undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners are directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.15,000/- each as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M. at Seraikela in connection with Tiruldih P.S. Case No.21 of 2024 with the condition that they will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish their mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile number during the pendency of the case and the petitioner No.1 will keep and maintain the opposite party No.2 with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife if and when she resumes conjugal life with him and they will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
