Order No.02 Dated-24-01-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending their arrest in connection with Burmu P.S. Case No.30 of 2024 instituted under Sections 341/323/325/326/307/354/504/379/506/ 34/498A of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 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 mother in-law and the petitioner No.2 being the sister-in-law (nanad) of the informant treated her with cruelty in connection with demand of dowry, attempted to murder her, outraged her modesty and committed theft of her jewelleries. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is next submitted that the main allegation is against the husband of the informant who is not the petitioner before this Court. It is also submitted that petitioners are female. It is next submitted that the grievous injury sustained by the informant is not on vital part of the body and the petitioners have no intention to kill anybody. It is further submitted that the petitioners undertake that they will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is lastly submitted that the petitioners undertake to co-operate with the investigation
of the case and to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners. 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 within six weeks from today and in the event of their arrest or surrendering, they will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.20,000/- each 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 Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Ranchi in connection with Burmu P.S. Case No.30 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 they will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
