Heard Mr Mundargi, learned senior counsel for the applicants and Mr Dediya, learned APP, for the respondent. 2. The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in C.R. No.517 of 2008 of Oshiwara Police Station, Mumbai. This crime has been registered under sections 498(A), 406, 323, 506 read with 34 of IPC against the present applicants and their son. It is on the allegations that after the marriage the son and the complainant had gone for honeymoon to Matheran. The complaint states that the marriage was not consummated and when that was reported to the in-laws, that is, the present applicants, they started harassing her. The allegations made against the in-laws are of general nature and no specific instance has been quoted by the complainant in the FIR. There are certain specific allegations against the husband, who has already been released on bail by the Sessions Court. The learned APP submitted that certain stridhan is still lying with the husband and the in-laws and to recover that stridhan custody of the applicants is necessary. No such efforts to recover the Stridhan was made when the husband was in custody. Moreover, the marriage is still subsisting and, therefore, at this stage, it would not be possible to appreciate the submissions made by the learned APP. Without prejudice to the rights and contentions of the applicants, Mr Mundargi, learned senior counsel, submitted that they are prepared to deposit Rs one lac with the Family Court to show their bonafides, subject to outcome of the proceedings in the Family court. The divorce petition filed by the husband is pending in the Family Court. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, I pass the following order. 3. In the event of arrest, the applicants be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount. The applicants shall report to the concerned police station on every alternate day between 10 and 11 am till 8.10.08 and thereafter as and when called. Statement of Mr Mundargi, learned senior counsel that the applicants shall deposit Rs.one lac in the Family Court in the petition filed by the husband for divorce, is accepted. The applicants may do so within a period of four weeks from today. The Family Court shall pass appropriate orders in respect of the said amount on the conclusion of the proceedings pending before it.
