THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Criminal Petition No.5820 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner apprehends arrest in Crime No.376 of 2009 of Machavaram P.S registered for the offence under Section 498-A IPC. The accusation made against the petitioner is that he harassed his wife, who is the defacto complainant and ultimately drove her out from the matrimonial home. Heard learned counsel appearing for the petitioner and the learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the marital relationship between the petitioner and the defacto complainant ran in rough weather and a mediation took place wherein the elders decided that the petitioner and the defacto complainant should reside together. Learned counsel took me through the proceedings recorded by the mediators. The conclusion of the mediation indicates that there is no dowry demand and the dispute is only because of the interference of the father-in-law of the petitioner. In that view of the matter, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner on certain conditions. In the result, the petition is allowed. The petitioner is directed to surrender himself before the Station House Officer, Machavaram P.S within a week from today, and on such surrender, he shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the same S.H.O and on further condition that he shall appear before the S.H.O., Machavaram P.S once in a week, i.e., on every Saturday between 10 AM and 5 PM for a period of two months or till filing of the charge sheet, whichever is earlier. _____________________________ B.SESHASAYANA REDDY, J 7th August 2009 RAR THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE B.SESHASAYANA REDDY Criminal Petition No.5820 of 2009 DATED : 07-08-2009
