Petitioners Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR.. .. Opp.Party ----------- 04/ 23-04-2010 Heard the parties. Petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No.1337 ©/2009, in which cognizance has been taken under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. When this matter was heard on 09-04-2010 a common plea was taken by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant that there are possibilities of reconciliation of the entire dispute between the parties and, therefore, the petitioners as well as the complainant were directed to remain physically present in Court. In compliance of the aforesaid order both the petitioners and the complainant are physically present and have been duly identified by their respective counsels. When the matter has been taken up for final disposal, then it was informed by the learned counsels for the parties that despite their best endeavours the compromise for one time settlement of the entire dispute could not be arrived at. From the side of petitioners an offer was made that they are prepared to return rupees fifty thousand in cash, one Motor cycle and one bedstead (Plung) and some other utensils, but 2 that was not acceptable to the complainant and she wanted to have return of some other articles and some ornaments also. In view of failure of compromise between the parties, matter was heard on merit. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioner no.1 is the father-in-law and petitioner no.2 is the mother-in-law of the complainant and both are old persons, aged about 70 years and 65 years respectively. It is also submitted on their behalf that for treatment of the husband of the complainant they have spent huge amount of money. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant has strongly opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioners and has insisted for fulfilment of demand for returning all the belongings of the complainant. The claims of the complainant were disputed by the petitioners. Be that as it may, in the facts and circumstances of the case and particularly on the ground of old age of the petitioners, in the event of arrest/surrender within a period of four weeks from today in the above noted case, the above named petitioners shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (rupees ten thousand)each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the S.D.J.M., Patna, subject to the conditions as laid down under sub-section (2) of Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
