THIS CRIMINAL PETITION COMING ON FOR ORDERS
THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:

ORDER

This petition is filed by the petitioners/accused

under Section 438 of Cr.P.C. seeking anticipatory bail,

to direct the respondent-police to release the petitioners

on bail in the event of their arrest for the offences

punishable under Sections 498A, 323, 504 read with 34

of IPC and Sections 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act,

registered in respondent police station Crime

No.69/2017.

3

2. Heard the arguments of the learned counsel

appearing for the petitioners/accused and also the

learned High Court Government Pleader appearing for

the respondent-State.

3. The petitioners have directly approached this

Court without approaching the Sessions Court. It is no

doubt true, looking to the provisions of Section 438 of

Cr.P.C., there is a concurrent jurisdiction to the

Sessions Court as well as to this Court. Apart from

that, it is a long standing practice that firstly they have

to exhaust the remedy before the concerned Sessions

Court, then to approach this Court.

4. Even though as per the Statute this Court is

having concurrent jurisdiction, but this Court is

burdened with so much of other matters, hence, I am of

the opinion that petitioners have to exhaust the remedy
4

before the concerned Sessions Court. Accordingly,

petition is hereby rejected.

However, learned counsel for the petitioners has

filed a memo dated 08.01.2018 praying the Court to

return the original document as per Annexure-H

produced in the case.

Hence, office is directed to return the original

document as prayed for by the learned counsel for the

petitioners by obtaining the Xerox copy of the same to

keep the records straight.
