The petitioners seek anticipatory bail in connection with Garbeta P.S.
Case No. 448 of 2018 dated 03.12.2018 under Sections
498A/323/354/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The husband of the complainant is the petitioner in C.R.M. 11374 of
2018; the mother-in-law and a brother of the husband of the complainant
are the petitioners in the other matter.
The State refers to the statement of the complainant to the effect that
the petitioners would torture the complainant on the complainant’s failure
to get more dowry.
The allegations are omnibus and general in nature and there does
not appear to be any serious injury inflicted on the complainant; but it is
evident that the complainant has been driven out of the matrimonial home
or she has been constrained to leave the matrimonial home.
The husband offers to pay a sum of Rs. 8,000/- (Rupees eight
thousand) per month by way of maintenance to the complainant/wife. In
view of such offer, the husband should make the payment for the month of
January, 2019 by the 15th of this month and continue payments for
subsequent months in similar manner. In default of any payment, the wife
will be entitled to seek cancellation of the bail obtained by the husband.
3
In the event any appropriate forum passes an order in favour of the
wife for maintenance or alimony pendente lite or the like, the payments
made in terms of this order will be adjusted against the same.
Subject to the payment for the month of January, 2019 being first
made, in the event of arrest, the petitioners will be granted bail upon
furnishing bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) each, with
two sureties of Rs. 5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each, one of whom
must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer, subject to the
conditions as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal
Procedure, 1973. In addition, the petitioners are directed to meet the
investigating officer at such time and place as may be specified by the
concerned police officer, till the investigation is completed.
The petition for anticipatory bail is allowed subject to the conditions
as indicated above.
Certified copies of this order be immediately made available to the
petitioners, subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
