No. 187 of 2006 of I Town Police Station, Godavarikhani, registered for the offences under Section 498- A, IPC and sections 4 & 5 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioner No. 1 is a pregnant woman and her case stands on different footing as that of the other petitioners. He further submits that A1 to A3 have been admitted to bail and therefore, the petitioners also deserve to be granted anticipatory bail The learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the application. In view of the fact that the petitioner No. 1 is carrying pregnancy, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to her. In the result, the petition is partly allowed and the petitioner No. 1 Smt. Vidya (A4) is directed to surrender before the Station House Officer I Town Police Station, Godavarikhani, Karimnagar District within in a week and on such surrender, she shall be released on bail on 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 same Station House Officer. The petition with regard to petitioner Nos. 2 to 4 is dismissed.” Sd/- M. SIVA NARAYANA ASSISTANT REGISTRAR // TRUE COPY // for ASSISTANT REGISTRAR To 1.
