Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Adtiyapur P.S. Case No.225 of 2015 corresponding to G.R. No.635 of 2015 instituted under Sections 406, 498A, 379, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners respectively being the mother-in-law, father-in-law and sister-in-law of the informant, have treated the informant 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. Drawing attention of this Court toward Annexure-3
page-34 of the brief which is the copy of the certified copy of the petition filed by the informant in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Seraikella in connection with G.R. Case No.635 of 2015, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the informant has compromised the case with the accused persons of the case outside the court with the intervention of well-wishers and relative. It is next submitted that the informant does not want to proceed with the case. It is also submitted that the main allegation is against the husband of the informant. It is then submitted that the petitioners 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 co-operate with the investigation of the case. 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 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., Seraikella in connection with Adtiyapur P.S. Case No.225 of 2015 corresponding to G.R. No.635 of 2015 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 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.
