The petitioners are the accused in Crime No. 169 of 2018 of
Cheemeni Police Station for an offence punishable under Section 498A
IPC.
2. The case of the prosecution is as follows:
The marriage between the first accused and the de facto
complainant was solemnised on 09.09.2012 as per the customs and in
the matrimonial house, she was subjected to cruelty, both physically
and mentally, stating that she has no beauty and thereby, they have
committed the aforesaid offence.
3. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the
learned Public Prosecutor.
4. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the
petitioners are innocent of the allegations levelled against them.
5. Since the alleged offence arose in connection with
matrimonial dispute and no serious allegations are raised against the
petitioners, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
In the result, this application is allowed and the 2 nd
respondent is directed to enlarge the petitioners on bail in the event of
their arrest on execution of a bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty
B.A. No.5868/2018 -3-

the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer.
