Mr S.G.Kudle, for respondent no.2. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 25/06/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No. 66 of 2009 of Bandra Police Station, Mumbai. The said crime has been registered against the applicants for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498-A, 323, 406, 504 read with 34 of IPC. 3. The prosecution case, in short, is that the complainant was subjected to harassment by the applicants on several T 2 grounds. I have perused the FIR. The marriage between the complainant and the son of applicant no.1 was solemnized on 7.6.2006. She stayed with all the applicants till 4.1.2008 and left the matrimonial home on that date and did not return thereafter. After more than one year, i.e. on 17.2.2009, she lodged the FIR. Keeping that in view and having considered overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. 4. It appears that during pendency of this application, this Court (V.M.Kanade,J.) vide order dated 31.3.2009, had directed the applicants to deposit Rs.1,20,000/- in this court to show their bonafides. Such direction was issued in view of the allegations in the FIR that the articles and jewelery worth Rs.1,20,000/- belonging to the complainant is with the applicants. Accordingly, the applicants have deposited the said amount in this court. Hence, the order. 5. In the event of arrest, the applicants be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions incorporated in sub-section (2) of Section 438 of Cr.P.C. Further, applicant nos 1, 2 and 4 are directed to report 3 to the concerned police station every alternate day between 10 and 11 am till 10.7.2009 and thereafter on every Saturday between 6 and 7 pm for a period of 90 days from today or till filing of the chargesheet, whichever is earlier. The amount deposited in this court by the applicants be transferred to the trial court. The trial Court shall pass appropriate orders in respect thereof at the time of final judgment. 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. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
