ORDER

This petition is filed under section 438 Cr.P.C., seeking

anticipatory bail in Cr.No.58/2018 registered under sections 498-

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the

learned HCGP. Learned HCGP has not filed any statement of

objections, but has orally opposed the petition.

2. The case is registered at the instance of wife of

petitioner No.1. It is alleged that she married petitioner No.1

about seven years back and they have two children. However,

petitioner No.1-her husband was ill-treating and harassing her

demanding dowry at the instance of petitioner No.2 . It is further

alleged that on 19.04.2018, at 12.00 midnight, once again,

petitioner No.1 picked up quarrel with the complainant and

petitioner No.1 assaulted on her neck with a sharp weapon.

3. Learned HCGP was directed to produce the wound

certificate. He has not produced any such document, instead,

submitted that as per the instructions of the Investigating

Officer, the injured-wife has been discharged from the hospital.

The injuries sustained by her are simple in nature. The parties

are residing together.

the circumstances in which the alleged incident has taken place,

in my view, interest of justice will be met, if the petitioners are

admitted to bail.
