A.B.A. No.7619 of 2024
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Bermo (Mahila) P.S. Case No.11 of 2024 instituted under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 109, 89, 352, 351(3), 74, 75, 85, 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and under 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 petitioner no.1 being the husband and petitioner no.2 being the maternal uncle of the petitioner no.1, treated the opposite party No.2- informant with cruelty in connection with demand of dowry and outraged her modesty. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is jointly submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners and the opposite party No.2-informant that both the petitioner no.1 and the opposite party No.2-informant are ready and willing to resume their conjugal life and the petitioner no.1 undertakes to keep and maintain the opposite party No.2-informant with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife by taking her from the court on 25.04.2025; on which date, both of them will appear before the trial court. It is lastly submitted that petitioners undertake to cooperate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. 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 on 25.04.2025 and the opposite party No.2 is also directed to appear before the learned court below on that date; in case the petitioners appear and surrender before the learned court below on 25.04.2025, 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 ACJM, Bermo at Tenughat in connection with Bermo (Mahila) P.S. Case No.11 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 numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case and the petitioner no.1 will take the opposite party No.2-informant to his house and keep and maintain the opposite party No.2-informant with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
In case the opposite party No.2 does not appear before the learned court below on 25.04.2025 or refuses to go with the petitioner no.1 to his
house, still the petitioners 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 ACJM, Bermo at Tenughat in connection with Bermo (Mahila) P.S. Case No.11 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 numbers and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that they will not change their mobile numbers during the pendency of the case and that the petitioner no.1 shall keep and maintain the opposite party No. 2 as his lawful wife, as and when she joins the petitioner no.1 for resuming conjugal life and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
