Order No.02 Dated-24-03-2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest in connection with Giridih (Mahila) P.S. Case No.36 of 2022 instituted under Sections 498A/341/323/504/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being the husband of the informant treated her with cruelty in connection with demand of dowry. It is next submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and general and omnibus in nature. It is then submitted that because of marital discord, this false case has been instituted against the petitioner. It is then submitted that the petitioner undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and also undertakes to keep and maintain the informant with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife if and when she resumes conjugal life with him. It is lastly submitted that petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case and 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 the date of the order 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 CJM, Giridih in connection with Giridih (Mahila) P.S. Case No.36 of 2022 with the condition that he will co-operate with the investigation of the case and appear before the investigating officer as and when noticed by him and furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Cards with an undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the pendency of the case and he will not annoy or disturb the informant or any of her family members in any manner during the pendency of the case and he will keep and maintain the informant with full honour and dignity as his lawful wife if 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.
