02/02.05.2025: This is an application filed by the petitioner praying for grant of anticipatory bail in terms of sections 482 and 484 of Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, as the petitioner has been allegedly implicated in connection with Complaint Case No. 104 of 2024 for the offences punishable under section 323,341, 504,506, 354(A), 102B, 467, 468 and 500 of the Indian Penal Code and 67 and 67(A) of I.T. Act and (cognizance has been taken for the offence under sections 323/504/120B of IPC and u/s 67-A of I.T. Act), pending in the court of learned ACJM, Bermo at Tenughat.
2.
Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned counsel for the State.
3.
The learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
4.
The petitioner is the first wife of the husband of the complainant. After deserting the petitioner, the husband married with the complaint.
5.
It is alleged that the petitioner had earlier filed a case i.e. Chatrochatti PS Case No. 29 of 2023 under section 67(A) of I.T. Act against the husband of the complainant for publishing her objectionable video on social media. Now only to pressurize the petitioner the complainant has filed the instant case.
6.
Admitted fact is that the case arises out of a complaint. Cognizance has been taken and hence there is no necessity of taking the petitioner in custody. Further there is no question of custodial interrogation also.
7.
Since there is no occasion to take the petitioner in custody, she should appear before the court below and file a bond and on her appearance the court will consider her case as per law.
8.
This application is thus disposed of.
