Haeard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor, and perused the material available on record. The defacto-complainant is the father-in- law of one Gaddam Ashok. The first petitioner is the father, the second petitioner is the mother and petitioners 3 and 4 are the brothers of the said Ashok. The said Ashok committed suicide on 25-05-2005. The complaint from which the case arises was presented by the father-in-law of the said Ashok alleging the commission of offences punishable under section 498-A, read with 3 and 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act and Sections 324, 504 and 506 IPC. The first information Report in the suicide case was lodged on 06-08-2005. The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the father of the deceased i.e., the first petitioner came to know that on account of the harassment meted out to the deceased at the hands of the petitioners herein i.e., father-in-law and the wife of the deceased and others, his son committed suicide and therefore, there is a dely in lodging the FIR. He also submits that to escape from the clutches of law, as a preemptive action, the father-in-law of the deceased Ashok preferred this complaint. The complaint is not only against the parents but also against the brothers of the deceased who are studying MCA and LL.B., final. In the above circumstances, I feel that the facts justify granting of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the petitioners shall be enlarged on bail, in the event of their arrest in the above crime, on each of them executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs. 5,000/- ( Rupees five thousand only ) with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer, Nirmal Town Police Station, Adilabad District.
