Applicant V/S. The State of Maharashtra ...... Respondent Mr. Ujwal R. Agandsurve, Advocate for the applicant. Mrs. G.P. Mulekar, APP for the State-respondent. CORAM :- Smt. R.P. SondurBaldota, J. 4th July, 2011. P.C. :- 1. This is a second application for anticipatory bail by the applicant, his first application having been dismissed by the Sessions Court by its order dated 14th June, 2011. He apprehends arrest in the crime that may be registered by his wife Aarti against him. Aarti has been residing seperately from him since some time. The applicant alleges that Aarti has been threatening him and his family members of criminal proceedings under Section 498A Indian Penal Code. The parents and the brother of the applicant had filed an application for anticipatory bail bearing No.1292 of 2010 before the Sessions Court. By the order dated 30th October, 2010 that application was partly * 2 * Cri.Appln. 548.2011 4.7.2011 allowed directing the concerned police station to give 72 hours notice to them before their arrest in the crime that may be registered on the report given by Aarti. The application for anticipatory bail by the applicant has been rejected solely on the ground that there is no complaint so far lodged at Andheri Police Station against the applicant. There is no reason for distinguishing the case of the applicant from the case of his parents and brother. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the interest of justice would be served if the relief as granted to the family members is granted to the applicant also. Hence, the application is disposed off with a direction to the Senior P.I. Andheri Police Station to give 72 hours notice to the applicant before his arrest on the crime that may be registered on the report given by Aarti (wife of the applicant. [SMT. R.P. SONDURBALDOTA, J]
