JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Nehru Mahto, Advocate For the State : Mr. Gautam Rakesh, Addl. P.P. For the O.P. No.2 : Md. Zaid Ahmed, Advocate ------ Order No.06 Dated- 29.01.2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Ramgarh Mahila P.S. Case No.06 of 2024 registered under sections 498A/ 313/323/504/506/34 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 the informant-opposite party no.2 with cruelty in connection of demand of dowry and caused miscarriage of her child without her consent. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and are general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that consequent upon mediation, the parties have decided to dissolve their marriage and get separated. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the investigation 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 furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Ramgarh, in connection with Ramgarh Mahila P.S. Case No.06 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 subject to the conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
