Mr.J.M.Pathade, Adv. for the applicant. Mr.J.P.Yagnik, APP for the Respondent. CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. 17th Sept., 2009. PC: The applicants are apprehending arrest in CR No.I-93/09 registered with Malegaon police station for offence under section 498A, 323 and 406 of IPC on lodging of an FIR by the complainant who happens to be wife of the accused No.1-Jaywant. According to the complainant the accused, her husband and his family members have ill treated her. It is further alleged that accused No.1 has misappropriated the golden ornaments belonging to her worth Rs.1.5 lacs. The present applicants are distant relatives of accused No.1 having residence at different places than where the accused No.1 and complainant resided together. There is a matrimonial dispute between the complainant and the accused No.1. As it was prima facie perceived that the present applicants are roped in by the complainant by naming 1 them in the FIR interim protection was granted by an order dated 24.8.09. It may not be out of place to mention that as many as 18 persons are named in the FIR who have allegedly ill treated the complainant. The present applicants are not residing at the place of residence of complainant and her husband. Hence there was hardly any chance of the present applicants to ill treat the complainant. Today learned APP submits that if the applicants are directed to attend concerned police station for a period of one week from today they could be interrogated and their statements could be recorded. In that view of the matter I direct that in the event of arrest of the applicants or any one of them he or they shall be released on bail on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each with one or two sureties in the like amount. The applicants shall attend the Malegaon police station daily from tomorrow between 4.00 to 6.00 p.m for a period of one week and thereafter as and when called by the IO. During the said period of one week IO shall interrogate the applicants and record their statements. The applicants shall abide by conditions stipulated in section 438(2) of Criminal Procedure Code. 17.9.2009. 2
