Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the marriage between the petitioner and the de-facto complainant took place sometime in the year 2008. The victim lodged complaint with the Officer-in-Charge of the local Police Station alleging that the father-in-law tried to commit rape upon the alleged victim. He submits that the father-in-law has been granted anticipatory bail by the learned Sessions Judge. 2. The learned Advocate appearing for the State relies on the case diary and seriously opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She refers to the statements of the witnesses including the statement of the victim recorded before the Learned Magistrate. 3. After hearing the learned advocate for the parties and considering the materials available in the case diary, it 2 appears to this Court that the allegation is against the father-in-law. That apart, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the father-in-law has been allowed by the Learned Session Judge. This Court is of the view that custodial interrogation of the present petitioner is not necessary. 4. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and shall abide by the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973/Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 with further condition that the petitioner shall meet the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight and shall cooperate with the investigation.
