Order No.04 Dated- 07.01.2025
Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Complaint P.C.R. Case No.884 of 2023 registered under sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner treated the informant with cruelty. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the main dispute between the petitioner and the victim, is regarding the relationship of the petitioner with Sunita Besra. It is then submitted that there is no allegation against the petitioner of demand of any dowry nor there is allegation of any willful conduct on the part of the petitioner which is of such a nature as is likely to drive the complainant to commit suicide or to cause grave injury or danger to life, limb or health; whether mental or physical. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 11 of the anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the complainant in any manner during the pendency 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 above named 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 depositing cash security of Rs. 25,000/- and 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 J.M. 1st Class, Dumka, in connection with Complaint P.C.R. Case No.884 of 2023 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the complainant in any manner during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
