Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Complaint (PCR) Case No.5322 of 2023 whereby cognizance has been taken for the offences punishable under Sections 498A of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being the husband of the complainant treated her with cruelty in connection of demand of dowry. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and because of some marital discord between the petitioner and the complainant, this false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that the petitioner is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the complainant, as and when the complainant is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the petitioner. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also undertakes to cooperate with the trial 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 Judicial Magistrate -1st Class, Gram Nyayalay, Jarmundi, Dumka, in connection with Complaint (PCR) Case No.5322 of 2023 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case with further condition that that he will keep and maintain the complainant with full dignity and honour as his lawful wife, if and when the complainant resumes conjugal life with the petitioner and subject to the conditions laid down under section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023.
