O R D E R
The petitioners herein are arrayed as accused Nos. 1 to 5 in
Crime No.534/2017 of Peroorkada Police station for offences
punishable under sections 498A, 420,468,120B and 34 IPC.
2. It was alleged that, the first accused had married the
defacto complainant. Subsequently, matrimonial dispute arose
ultimately leading to the initiation of various proceedings including
the present proceeding under section 498A. Petitioners 2 to 5 are
the parents and close relatives of the first petitioner.
3. When the matter came up for hearing, noting that the
dispute arose from a matrimonial discord, the second respondent
was directed to implead as additional respondent. She appeared
through counsel and both sides were referred for mediation on
consent. The mediation failed and the report has been received.
Hence, the parties were heard on merits. It appears that, the
matrimonial discord is the basic cause. Very serious allegations
are not seen raised. It is also to be noted that the other
matrimonial proceedings are also pending.
4. Having regard to the above facts, I am inclined to grant
the benefit of pre arrest bail to the petitioners subject to the
BA No.3713/2017 2
following conditions:
(i). Petitioners shall appear before the investigating officer
within ten days from today and shall undergo interrogation.
Thereafter, if they are proposed to be arrested, they shall be
released on bail on each of the petitioner executing a bond for a
sum of Rs.40,000/-(Rupees forty thousand only) with two sureties
for the like sum each.
(ii). They shall not threaten, coerce or intimidate the defacto
complainant and witnesses.
iii). They shall appear before the Investigating Officer as
and when called for and co-operate with the investigation.
iv). They shall not get involved in any other offence.
Anticipatory Bail Application is allowed.
