2. I have heard the learned Counsel appearing for

the petitioners-accused Nos.2 to 6 and the learned High

Court Government Pleader appearing for the respondent-

State.

3. I have perused the averments made in the bail

petition, FIR, complaint and the other materials on

record.

4. Earlier to the present complaint, a complaint

was filed, which is produced as per Annexure-B. I have

perused the contents of the said earlier complaint also.

Subsequently, the present complaint came to be filed on

23.11.2017 in respect of the alleged offence that took

place on 17.11.2017. Looking to the contents of the

subsequent complaint also, similar set of allegations,

which are already made in the earlier complaint, were

made. The complaint goes to show that serious

allegations are made against the husband of the

complainant i.e., accused No.1. The petitioners are
4

accused Nos.2 to 6. They have contended that they are

not involved in the alleged offence and there is false

implication of their name in the case. The petitioners

have undertaken that they are ready to abide by any

condition that may be imposed by this Court. The alleged

offence under Section 307 of IPC is not exclusively

punishable with death or imprisonment for life.

5. Hence, the petition is allowed. The respondent-

police are directed to enlarge the petitioners on bail in the

event of their arrest for the alleged offences punishable

under Sections 498A, 504, 323, 324, 354(A), 307 read

with Section 34 of IPC registered in respondent Police

Station Crime No.102/2017, subject to the following

conditions:

i. Each petitioner shall execute a personal
bond for a sum of Rs.50,000/- and
