The applicant is the mother-in-law of the complainant against whom an offence under section 498A of the I.P.C. has been registered by Park Site Police Station. The son of the applicant had filed an application for anticipatory bail in the Sessions Court for Greater Mumbai and an undertaking was filed by the son of the applicant and the complainant wherein it was agreed that the applicant’s son would procure a house on rent for the benefit of the complainant and would also pay maintenance at the rate :2: of Rs 1500/- per month. Further conditions were imposed that neither the family of the applicant nor the complainant’s relatives would interfere with the personal life of the applicant’s son and the complainant. In para 6 of the undertaking, the complainant had undertaken to withdraw this complaint after the applicant’s son had procured a rented house for the benefit of the complainant. It is an admitted position that the house was procured for the benefit of the complainant by the applicant’s son and he has been regularly paying maintenance at the rate of Rs 1500/- per month. It is pertinent to note that in this undertaking there is no reference of jewellery being taken by the present applicant or by her son and that the said issue was raised for the first time in the application which was filed by the present applicant in the Sessions Court. 3.
