The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in CR No.218 of 2008 of N.M.Joshi Marg Police Station, Mumbai. The said case is mainly under Sections 498-A and 406 of IPC. 3. It is an admitted fact that parents of the applicant have produced 106 articles belonging to the complainant before the police. A detail panchnama relating to the seizure of the said articles has been drawn by the police. The [-2-] complainant was present at the time when these articles were produced before the police. However, the case of the complainant is that in addition to these articles, one diamond and gold earring and pendant set worth Rs.20,000/- and one diamond and gold ring worth Rs.5000/- and some artificial jewellery valued at Rs.4000/- are still with the applicant. The learned APP states that the custody of the applicant is necessary for recovery of these articles. The learned advocate for the applicant on instructions states that Rs.26000/- would be immediately handed over to the complainant i.e. Rs.20,000/- for the diamond and gold earing and pendant set and Rs.5000/- for diamond and gold ring and Rs.1000/- towards artificial jewellery. The complainant is willing to accept the amount towards value of those articles. The amount of Rs.26,000/- has been handed over to the complainant in the Court today and complainant has accepted the same and complainant states that now no other articles remain with the applicant and/or his family. In this view of the matter, the custody of the applicant would not be necessary for recovery of any articles, hence, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. [-3-] 4. In the event of arrest, the applicant-Amit Mohan Salekar be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rs.twenty five thousand only) with one or two sureties to make up the said amount.
