Opposite Parties ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Sanjay Prasad, Advocate For the State : Ms. Amrita Kumari, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No.12 Dated- 04/02/2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with C.P. Case No.2383 of 2019 instituted under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. 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, treated her with cruelty in connection with demand of dowry. It is submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that because of marital discord between the parties, this false case has been foisted against the petitioner. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co-operate with the trial of the case and to keep and maintain the opposite party No.2/complainant and his son with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife as and when she resumes conjugal life with him. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P appearing for the State and learned counsel for the opposite party no2. on the other hand vehemently oppose the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.25,000/- as cash security and on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.F.C., Dhanbad in connection with C.P. Case No.2383 of 2019 with the condition that he will co-operate with the trial of the case and he will keep and maintain the opposite party No.2/complainant and his son with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife as and when she resumes conjugal life with him and further conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
