Order No.07 / Dated : 17.01.2025
Instant petition has been filed for cancellation of anticipatory bail granted by this Court in A.B.A. No. 5584 of 2022 vide order dated 16.09.2022 to the opposite party in connection with Jagarnathpur P.S. Case No.366 of 2021 under Sections 341, 323, 379, 498A, 504, 506/34 of the IPC.
2. It is argued by the learned counsel on behalf of the petitioner that after the grant of anticipatory bail to O.P. No.2, the petitioner was subjected to domestic violence in his hand to oust her from her matrimonial home. A report in this regard was called for by J.M.- XXVII, in Complaint Case No.5279/2022 vide letter no.209 dated
01.09.2022. As per the DIR report dated 11.10.2022, petitioner was subjected to harassment and was ousted from the domestic establishment. It is argued that the petitioner and the minor child are being denied right of inheritance in property.
3.
Learned counsel on behalf of O.P. No.2 submits that this case is a fall out of divorce suit filed by him being O.S. No. 6669/2021. It is also submitted that conditions for cancellation of bail are not made out.
4. On considering the rival submissions and materials on record, it is apparent that the bail of O.P. No.2 was granted on merit vide order
dated 16.09.2022, whereas report regarding domestic violence was called for on 01.09.2022. No fresh material has been filed in support of breach of condition of anticipatory bail or the petitioner being subjected to cruelty in reference to the unlawful demand. So far as domestic violence is concerned, there are sufficient provisions for passing of prohibitory order under the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005.
I do not find any merit in the instant petition for cancellation of the anticipatory bail which accordingly, stands rejected.
