The F.I.R. is lodged on 14.4.2010 by Vishakha Sandeep Lokare. Her husband Sandeep has been arrested and he is in jail. In so far as the present applicants are concerned they are brother in law and sister in law of the complainant and it 2 is the allegation of the complainant that they have mentally harassed her. In my opinion, their custodial interrogation is not necessary. So far as the claim of sridhan is concerned, jewellery except one Mangalsutra has been recovered from the husband. So far as Mangalsutra is concerned Advocate for the applicants makes a statement that though the said Mangalsutra was purchased by the husnand under receipt and husband will handover the same to the Investigating officer without prejudice to his rights and contentions subject to an order to be passed under Section 452 of the Criminal Procedure Code. The learned Advocate states that he will handover the mangalsutra within two days from today. Statement is accepted. The Investigating Officer is entitled to take charge of the Mangalsutra as muddemal article. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant prearrest bail to the applicants. It is therefore, directed that in the event of their arrest in connection with C.R.
