Ritu Kumari, D/o Baleshwar Yadav, Village and Post Pito, P.S. –Bishnugarh, District –Hazaribagh … Opposite Parties ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Prabhash Ch. Sinha, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sudhir Kr. Mahto, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 23.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Katkamdag P.S. Case No.107 of 2024 registered under sections 341/323/325/326/307/498A of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition 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 has treated her with cruelty in connection of demand of dowry. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and there is an inordinate delay in lodging the F.I.R. It is then submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the informant-opposite party no.2 as and when she is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the petitioner. It is then submitted that because of marital discord between the parties, this false case has been foisted. 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. 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, Hazaribagh, in connection with Katkamdag P.S. Case No.107 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case with further condition that that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case and will keep and maintain the informant with full dignity and honour as his lawful wife, as and when the informant becomes ready and willing to resume conjugal life and subject to the conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
