LISA GILL, J.
Prayer in this petition is for grant of anticipatory bail to the
petitioner in FIR No. 52 dated 25.01.2018 under Sections 498A, 323, 354A
(2), 377, 34 IPC registered at Police Station City Bhiwani.
Contentions on behalf of the petitioner, while issuing notice of
motion, read as under:-
” The petitioner, it is submitted, is the uncle (Chacha) of
the complainant’s husband. He has been falsely implicated for
the reason that he is a government employee. Absolutely false
allegations have been levelled against the petitioner. The
petitioner is living separately from the complainant and her
husband and has nothing to do with the matrimonial discord
between them.”
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
has joined investigation pursuant to interim order passed by this Court.
Final report under Section 173 Cr.P.C. has been presented. The petitioner
undertakes to face the proceedings and not abuse the concession of
anticipatory bail, if confirmed. It is, thus, prayed that this petition be
allowed.

Learned counsel for the State, on instructions from HC Praveen
Kumar, verifies that the petitioner has joined investigation. Final report
under Section 173 Cr.P.C. has since been presented. The petitioner is not
involved in any other criminal case.
There are no allegations on behalf of the State that the
petitioner is likely to abscond or that he is 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 this petition. Consequently, order dated 28.02.2018
is made absolute.
It is reiterated that none of the observations made herein above
are a reflection on the merits of the case and shall have no bearing on the
trial.
