Appellant No. 6 Mumtaz Qureshi @ Mumtaz
Nashiboon @ Mumtaz has already been arrested in this case. Hence,
his prayer for anticipatory bail has become infructuous.
The informant was in physical relation with Mehraj
Qureshi as both were intending to marry with each other.
Subsequently, they married. However, the family members, who are
appellants herein, did not recognize their marriage and allegedly
abused by taking caste name.
Submission of the learned counsel for the appellants
is that appellants have no objection nor they have any reservation in
their happy matrimonial life.
Considering the aforesaid submission which the
appellants should give in affidavit at the time of filing of bail bond, let
the other appellants, above named, in the event of their arrest or
surrender before the Court below within a period of thirty days from
the date of receipt of the order, be released on bail on furnishing bail
bonds of Rs.20,000/- (rupees twenty thousand) each with two sureties
of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Court below
where the case is pending in connection with the aforesaid case,
subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the
Code of Criminal Procedure as well as condition that the appellants
shall fully cooperate with the investigation/trial of the case, failing

of within the territorial jurisdiction of the learned court below.
