1. Shri Rahul Singh Tomar, Advocate, has filed his vakalatnama on behalf of informant, which is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Shri Chandan Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant and perused the record. 3. The present application has been moved seeking anticipatory bail in Case Crime no. 550 of 2024, under Section 80(2), 85 of B.N.S. and Section 3/4 of Dowry Prohibition Act, Police Station Sector-24 Noida, District Gautambuddh Nagar, with the prayer that in the event of arrest, applicant may be released on anticipatory bail. 4. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is the mother-in-law. The applicant has an apprehension that she may be arrested in the above-mentioned case, whereas there is no credible evidence against her. It has further been submitted that applicant has no criminal antecedents. It was also submitted that applicant undertakes to cooperate during trial and she would appear as and when required by the Court. It has been stated that in case, the applicant is granted anticipatory bail, she shall not misuse the liberty of bail and will cooperate with the proceeding of trial and would obey all conditions of bail. 5. Learned A.G.A. as well as learned counsel for the informant have opposed the application for anticipatory bail and argued that since charge sheet has been filed, therefore, applicant does not deserve any indulgence, at this stage. 6. It may be stated that in case of Siddharam Satlingappa Mhetre v. State of Maharashtra, (2011) 1 SCC 694, it has been
held by Hon'ble Supreme Court that while deciding anticipatory bail, Court must consider nature and gravity of accusation, antecedent of accused, possibility of accused to flee from justice and that Court must evaluate entire available material against the accused carefully and that the exact role of the accused has also to be taken into consideration. 7.
In the instant case, considering the settled principle of law regarding anticipatory bail, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, nature of accusation, role of applicant and all attending
facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merit of the case, no case for anticipatory bail is made out.
8. The anticipatory bail application is rejected.
9. Interim order, if any, stands vacated.
