The State of Maharashtra ..Respondent ... Mr.M.S.Mohite Advocate for Applicant Mr.H.J.Dedia APP for the State ... CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATE : AUGUST 22, 2008 DATE : AUGUST 22, 2008 DATE : AUGUST 22, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in CR No.26 of 2008 of Ambad Police Station, Dist. Nasik. The FIR has been registered under Section 498-A, 406, 504 and 506 r.w.34 of IPC. 3. The applicant is the sister in law of the complainant. The complainant got married to the [-2-] brother of the applicant in the year 2006. In the FIR, complainant has stated that her husband, brother in law and father in law demanded money and as the demand was not met, they illtreated her and harassed her. In the FIR dated 18.1.2008 there is no reference to the present applicant. 4. The learned APP has pointed out that the complainant has named the applicant in her further statement recorded on 31.1.2008. The complainant has not named the present the applicant nor has she made any allegations against the present applicant in the FIR. The complainant was residing with her husband at Nasik since her marriage in 2006. The applicant was married in the year 2003 and she was residing at Nagpur. The applicant is a young lady having a minor child of three years. Looking to the fact that when her first statement was recorded, complainant has not stated the name of the applicant, I find much merit in the submission that the applicant has been falsely implicated as an after thought. In this view of the matter and looking to the other facts reflected above, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. [-3-] 5. In the event of arrest, the applicant-Jaspreetkaur Harpreet Singh Alag 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. The applicant shall report to Ambad Police Station as and when called. 6. Application is disposed of. [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J.] [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J.] [SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI, J.]
