Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Nawadih P.S. Case No. 54 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3/4 of the D.P.Act. Learned counsel appearing 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 the opposite party no. 2 with cruelty in connection with demand of dowry. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and because of marital discord, this false case has been foisted against the petitioner, on the basis of vague allegations. It is further submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is ready to resume conjugal life with the opp. party no. 2. It is next submitted that the petitioner is ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case and also undertakes to keep and maintain the opposite party no. 2 with full dignity and honour as his lawful wife, as and when the opposite party no. 2, becomes ready to resume conjugal life with the petitioner and the petitioner will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the pendency of the case, hence, the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail. The learned Addl. PP opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner. Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, the petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing 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 ACJM, Bermo at Tenughat in connection with Nawadih P.S.
