With the assistance of the learned A.P.P., I have perused the relevant papers. The Applicant appears to be the complainant who has filed a complaint against her husband alleging commission of offence under Section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. In the application made by the Applicant in this Court, a prayer is made for cancellation of the anticipatory bail granted in favour of her husband. The second prayer is for return of ‘Streedhan’ property and third prayer is for expediting the trial. 2. The learned A.P.P. on instructions pointed out that after completion of - 2 - investigation charge sheet has already been filed. After perusing the application and annexures to the application, I am satisfied that no case is made out for cancellation of anticipatory bail. As far as prayer regarding return of ‘Streedhan’ property is concerned, it is for the Applicant to take out appropriate proceeding before appropriate forum. Considering the large pendency of cases in the courts of Magistrate, prayer for direction to dispose of the case within three months cannot be considered. 3. Hence, prayer for cancellation of anticipatory bail is rejected. It will be open for the Applicant to take out appropriate proceedings as regard alleged ‘Streedhan’ property in accordance with law. 4. Petition is disposed of in above terms. - 3 - JUDGE JUDGE JUDGE
