The petitioner herein has been arrayed as accused No.1 among

Police Station, which has been registered for the offences punishable
under Sections 498A, 294(b), 506(i), 406 read with Section 34 of IPC
on the basis of FI statement given by the lady defacto complainant on

3. After hearing both sides and after careful evaluation of
the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is inclined to take
the view that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner herein may
not be necessary for the smooth and fair conduct of the investigation
in this crime.
4. Accordingly, it is ordered that in the event of the
petitioner being arrested in respect of the above crime, then the
petitioner shall be released on bail on his separately executing bond
for Rs.40,000/- (Rupees Forty Thousand only) and on his separately
furnishing two solvent sureties for the like sum both to the
satisfaction of the investigating officer concerned.
5. However, the above order in the matter of grant of bail
will be subject to the following conditions.
i. The petitioner shall not involve in any criminal
offences of similar nature.
ii. The petitioner shall fully co-operate with the
investigation.
iii. The petitioner shall report before the investigating
officer as and when required in that connection.
iv. The petitioner shall not influence witness or shall not
tamper or attempt to tamper evidence in any manner,
whatsoever.
6. If there is any violation of the above said conditions by
the petitioner then the jurisdiction court concerned will stand hereby
empowered, to consider the plea for cancellation of bail at the
B.A.No.6313 of 2019

appropriate time.
With these observations and directions, the above Bail
Application will stand disposed of.
