in the complaint that, 14 years back his sister’s
3

marriage was performed with Accused No.1. Since then,

she was residing with her husband in the matrimonial

3. Heard the arguments of the learned counsel

appearing for the petitioner/accused and also the

learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for

the respondent-State.

4. I have perused the grounds urged in the bail

petition, FIR, complaint and other materials placed on

record, so also the earlier order passed by the Court in

respect of Accused No.1 filed under Section 438 of

Cr.P.C. which came to be rejected and subsequently bail

petition filed by Accused No.1 under Section 439 came

to be allowed and even Accused No.1 who is the

husband of the deceased was also released on bail. So

far as the complaint allegations are concerned, the

complainant is not the eye witness. On the basis of the

information furnished by Rudresh, the complaint came

to be registered. The specific allegations in the

complaint are against Accused No.1 and there are
5

general allegations against the other petitioners. The

petitioner denied those allegations contending that he is

an innocent and not involved in committing the alleged

offence. He has produced the copies of the earlier

Orders in respect of Accused No.1 passed by this Court.

He has undertaken that he is ready to abide by any

reasonable conditions to be imposed by the Court.

Investigation is completed and charge sheet is also filed.

Hence, it is a fit case to exercise discretion in favour of

the petitioner.

5. Accordingly, petition is allowed.

Petitioner/accused No5. is ordered to be released on

bail for the offence punishable under Sections 498A,

302, 149, 114, 341 of IPC registered in Crime
