This is an application for anticipatory bail filed by the applicants who have an apprehension that they are likely to be arrested in connection with an offence which is registered at the Ambernath Police Station vide C.R.No.102/62/2006 for the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 306, 32 and 34 of the IPC. 2. Learned Counsel for the applicants submits that - 2 - a false case has been registered against the applicants and the applicants are afraid to move an application in the Kalyan Court and therefore, they have filed this application directly in this Court. No particulars have been given in the application as it is alleged that they are not aware about the circumstances in which the FIR came to be lodged by the Ambernath Police Station. 3. The learned APP, on instructions, has shown me the FIR and the other documents on record. The FIR discloses that the daughter of Parag Bharati committed suicide at the house of the applicants on 16th February, 2006. It is stated in the FIR that the applicant used to demand dowry from his daughter and all the applicants used to harass the deceased. He has stated in his statement that the applicant no.1 and others had threatened him on phone that if dowry was not paid every week, his daughter would be killed and soon thereafter, the daughter allegedly committed suicide and therefore, the said offence has been registered. 4. I have also perused the other documents and - 3 - statements which are recorded by the police. The investigation is still in progress. Considering the gravity of the offence and seriousness of the charge which is levelled against the applicants, no case is made out for grant of anticipatory bail. 5. Application is rejected. 6. The learned Counsel for the applicants mentioned the matter at 3.00 p.m. after recess and submits that some time may be given to the applicants to surrender. Accordingly, the applicants may surrender within seven days. (V.M. Kanade, J.) (V.M. Kanade, J.) (V.M. Kanade, J.)
