We have considered the materials on record. We do not find

any contemporaneous document supporting the allegations of

assault upon the victim by the petitioner. In view of the aforesaid

fact, we are of the opinion that the petitioner may be granted

anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the

petitioner, namely, Johra Bibi shall be released on bail upon

furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount

to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the

conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of

Criminal Procedure, 1973.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
