3. On the other hand, learned counsel representing respondent No.2 submitted that, the Trial Court after considering the material on record, has granted anticipatory bail and as the impugned order is discretionary in nature, the same cannot be interfered with in this petition.
4. In the light of the submissions made by the learned counsel appearing for the parties, the petitioner herein, has filed complaint against the respondent No.2, alleging accusation of the offence punishable under Section 108 of BNS, 2023. In the meanwhile, respondent No.2 herein has filed Crl.Misc.No.188/2025 before the Trial Court under Section 482 of BNSS, 2023, seeking anticipatory bail in Crime No.5/2025 registered by the petitioner herein, for the offences punishable under Section 108 of BNS, 2023.

noted that, as to the apprehension expressed by the learned counsel for the petitioner herein that respondent No.2 herein has violated condition No.3 in the anticipatory bail granted to him, the petitioner herein has not produced any acceptable grounds to interfere with the impugned order at Annexure-B and no material is placed as to the violation of condition of bail.
6. Therefore, I am of the view that, as there is no specific accusation against respondent No.2 stating that he has abused and insulted the husband of the complainant before everyone, no interference is called for in this petition. Accordingly, the petition is dismissed.
