DATED : 28.04.2009. DATED : 28.04.2009. P.C.: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Ms Nadar-original complainant, and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.I-75/2009 of 2009 of Manpada police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicants for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498-A, 406 and 316 of IPC. 2 2 2 3. Mr Manoharan, learned counsel for the applicants, at this stage, prays for withdrawal of the application on behalf of applicant no.1 and seeks liberty to the applicant no.1 to apply for regular bail after his arrest. The application of applicant no.1 is disposed of as withdrawn, with liberty as prayed. I have heard this application on behalf of applicant nos 2 to 4. 4. The prosecution case, in brief, is that all the applicants subjected the complainant to harassment with a view to coercing her to meet unlawful demand of monies. I have perused the FIR dated 21.2.2009 wherein a specific allegation is made only against applicant no.1. There is a long delay in filing the FIR. Keeping that in view and considering the nature of allegations against applicant nos 2 to 4, namely, Mr Gnanaiah Nadar, Mrs Nirmala Rajan, and Ms.Marybai Job, I am inclined to grant their prayer for anticipatory bail. Hence, the following order. . In the event of arrest, applicants no.2- Mr Gnanaiah Nadar, no.3-Mrs Nirmala Rajan and no.4-Ms Marybai Job be released on bail in the sum of 3 3 3 Rs.5000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to the conditions stipulated in sub-section (2) of Section 438 of Cr.P.C. Further, the applicants are directed to report to the concerned police station as and when required. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. . The application is disposed of. (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
