Order No.02 Dated- 11.04.2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court
for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Bokaro
Mahila P.S. Case No.27 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable
under sections 85/ 115(2)/ 118(1)/ 352/ 351(2)/ 351(3)/ 3(5) of the
Indian Penal Code and under Section 3/4 of D.P. Act.
The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner being the
husband of the informant has treated her with cruelty in connection
of demand of dowry. It is further submitted that the allegations
against the petitioner are all false and are general and omnibus in
nature. It is then submitted that because of some marital discord, this
false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that the petitioner is
still ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the informant and
will keep and maintain the informant with full dignity and honour as
his lawful wife, if and when the informant is ready and willing to
resume conjugal life with the petitioner. It is also submitted that the
petitioner has first lodged Giridih (Town) P.S. Case No. 269 of 2024
against the informant and others and as a counter blast, this false case
has been foisted. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes
to furnish sufficient security including cash security and also
undertakes to cooperate with the investigation of the case and further
undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any
manner during the pendency 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 J.M. 1st Class, Bokaro,
in connection Bokaro Mahila P.S. Case No.27 of 2024 with the
condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the investigation of
the case and appear before the Investigating Officer as and when
noticed by him and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his
Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not
change his mobile number during the pendency of the case with
further condition that the petitioner will keep and maintain the
informant with full dignity and honour as his lawful wife if and when
the informant is ready and willing to resume conjugal life with the
petitioner and will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner
during the pendency of the case subject to the conditions laid down
under Section 482 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita,
2023.
