This order shall decide Criminal Misc. Nos. M- 7526 and
6287 of 2017.
Prayer in these petitions is for grant of anticipatory bail to
the petitioners in FIR No. 17 dated 30.01.2017 under Section 498A,

present petitioners, who have been ousted from the house. Petitioner –
Dinesh is the husband and Tarawati the mother-in-law of the
complainant – respondent No. 2. Moreover, both the petitioners have
joined investigation. It is, thus, prayed that these petitions be allowed.
Learned counsel for the complainant is unable to deny that
the complainant is living in the matrimonial home alongwith her
children, father-in-law and grand father-in-law.
Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from HC
Munesh, verifies that the petitioners have joined investigation. They are
not involved in any other criminal case.
There are no allegations on behalf of the State that the
petitioners are likely to abscond or that they are likely to dissuade
the witnesses from deposing true facts in the Court, if released on bail.
Keeping in view the facts and circumstances noted above
but without expressing any opinion on the merits of case, it is
considered just and expedient to allow these petitions. Consequently,
order dated 23.02.2017 passed in CRM-M-6287-2017 is made absolute
and in the event of arrest of the petitioner – Dinesh (in CRM-M-7526
of 2017), he shall be released on bail to the satisfaction of Investigating
Officer/Arresting officer. He shall appear before the Investigating
agency as and when required. Petitioner shall comply with the
conditions stipulated in Section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
