Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Latehar (Mahila) P.S. Case No.18 of 2024 registered under sections 82(1)/85/89/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being the husband of the informant has treated the informant with cruelty in connection of demand of dowry. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-10 of the instant anticipatory bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the informant as and when she is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the petitioner. It is next submitted that because of some suspicion, the informant has lodged this case. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also 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 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Latehar, in connection with Latehar (Mahila) P.S.
