The petitioner is the husband and has approached this court for grant of anticipatory bail in Complaint Case no.449C of 2007 lodged for the offence punishable under Sections 498A/ 406 of the Indian Penal Code. Pursuant to the statement made by the petitioner, wife (complainant) was impleaded as O.P.no.2. Counsel for the opposite party no.2 has stated before this court that the petitioner is all the time cruel to her and demanding money for starting business. In that view of the matter, this court is not inclined to allow the petitioner’s prayer for bail made in this application and accordingly the application is dismissed. However, if the petitioner surrenders and makes an application for regular bail the court below will consider the same on its own merits without being prejudiced by this order of rejection.
