ORDER
The petitioners herein have been arrayed as accused
Nos.1 to 3 among the 3 accused in the instant Crime
No.360/2019 of Bekal Police Station, Kasargode District,
which has been registered for offences punishable under
Sec.498A of the SectionI.P.C, on the basis of the FI statement given by
the lady de facto complainant on 12.9.2019 at about 3:20 p.m.,
in respect of the incidents happened for the period from
20.12.2015 to 3.8.2019. The lady de facto complainant is the
wife of the 1st petitioner herein and petitioners 2 3 are the
father and mother respectively of the 1st petitioner.
2. The brief of the prosecution case is that after the
marriage between the spouses, the petitioners have treated the
de facto complainant with cruelty, demanding dowry, money,
etc.
3. Sri.Amjad Ali, learned Prosecutor would fairly
submit on the basis of instructions from the Investigating
::3::
Bail Appl..No.7490 OF 2019
Officer concerned that pursuant to Sec.41A notice issued, the
1st petitioner (A1) appeared before the Investigating Officer for
interrogation purposes and he has fully co-operated with the
interrogation process and that the Investigating Officer does
not intend to arrest any of the petitioners in relation to the
investigation in this Crime.
4. The abovesaid submission made on behalf of the
Investigating Officer is recorded. Hence it is for the
petitioners to work out their remedies in the manner known to
law as the plea for anticipatory bail has become rather
redundant or infructuous in view of the fair stand taken by the
Investigating Officer concerned.
With these observations and directions, the above
application will stand disposed of.
