DATED : 3RD DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 3RD DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 3RD DECEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.631 of 2008 of Nashik Road police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and his mother for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498(A), 406, 323, 504, 506 r/w 34 of IPC. 3. I have perused an FIR lodged by the wife of the applicant on 13.11.2008 making general allegation against the applicant and his mother stating that she was subjected to harassment with a view to coercing her to fulfil their unlawful demand. No specific instances of harassment are quoted in the FIR. From the FIR it appears that the complainant was driven out of the house on 1st October, 2007. The complainant did not make any grievance 2 2 2 for a period of one year and it is only on 7th October, 2008 she sent a notice through her advocate and thereafter on 13.11.2008 lodged the complaint. The mother of the applicant has already been granted anticipatory bail by the Sessions Court. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. Hence the following order: . In the event of arrest, the applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on every Wednesday and Saturday between 7 and 8 pm for a period of one month and thereafter on every Saturday between 7 and 8 pm for a period of 90 days from today or till filing of the charge sheet, whichever is earlier. The application is disposed of. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order. 3 3 3 (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
