2. Accordingly, the following conditions and orders are passed :

1) In case, the SHO, Ambalapuzha subsequently gets any objective materials so as
to array the 1st petitioner as an accused in the abovesaid crime or in any other
crime for non-bailable offence, then the SHO concerned will issue prior notice
to the petitioner under Sec.41A of the SectionCr.P.C. and then thereafter, may proceed

2) The learned Prosecutor will forthwith give a photocopy of the FIR and FIS in

relation to Crime No.1572/2019 of Ambalapuzha Police Station, in which the 2 nd

punishable as per Sec.498A of the SectionIPC to Sri.Syam J.Sam, learned counsel

appearing for the petitioners today itself and thereafter it is for the 2 nd

petitioner to work out the remedies in accordance with the law.

3. However, in the interest of justice it is ordered, solely for the

purpose of preservation of the subject matter of the lis that further coercive

steps including the proposed arrest of the 2 nd petitioner in relation to her

involvement in the said crime shall be deferred by the investigating officer

for a period of one month in order to enable her to seek appropriate

remedies in accordance with law, in the meanwhile.

With these observations and directions, the above bail application

will stand disposed of.
