DATE : 26/11/2008 DATE : 26/11/2008 DATE : 26/11/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.283 of 2008 of Mahim police station, Mumbai. The said crime has been registered against the applicants and two others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498-A, 406 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The applicants are the in-laws and sisters-in-law of the complainant. The complainant’s husband and his brother are also accused in the present case and they were arrested and granted bail by the Sessions Court. 4. I have perused the complaint. All the allegations against the in-laws are general in nature. Insofar as the allegation of termination of pregnancy is concerned, that also appears to be mainly against the husband. From the statement of the complainant it appears that all the applicants were against the termination of pregnancy and, therefore, they told the complainant to live separately with her husband. Mr Gorwadkar, learned counsel for the applicants, submits that the applicants are prepared to return all the ornaments brought by the complainant in the marriage. He further submits that the husband of the complainant has expressed willingness to take the complainant back and live separately. This matter was adjourned from time to time for settlement, however, the settlement did not work out. It is against this backdrop, I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail to all the applicants. Hence, the following order. . In the event of arrest, all the applicants to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicants shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate day till 10.12.2008 between 9 and 10 am and thereafter as and when required. . Learned APP submits that let the applicants deposit all the ornaments of the complainant with the police. Mr Gorwadkar, learned counsel for the applicants, submits that within a week from today the husband of the complainant shall deposit all the ornaments with the I.O., a list of which is already handed over to the learned APP and the counsel for the complainant today in the court. His statement is accepted. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
