Opposite Parties ------ CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Ms. Ashna Khanam, Advocate For the State : Mr. Rakesh Kr. Sinha, Addl.P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 11/03/2025 Heard the parties. Apprehending his arrest in connection with Jagarnathpur (Pundag) P.S. Case No.09 of 2023 instituted under Sections 341, 323 & 498-A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being the husband of the informant/opposite party no.2, treated her with cruelty in connection with demand of dowry. It is submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are false, general and omnibus in nature. It is next submitted that because of marital discord between the parties, this false case has been foisted against the petitioner. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to co- operate with the investigation of the case and to keep and maintain the informant with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife, as and when she resumes conjugal life with him. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering the submissions of learned counsels and the facts and circumstances stated above, I am inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on bail on depositing Rs.25,000/- 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 J.M., Ranchi in connection with Jagarnathpur (Pundag) P.S. Case No.09 of 2023 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when noticed by him and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and he will keep and maintain the informant with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife as and when she resumes conjugal life with him and further conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
