The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.445 of 2008 of Yerwada police station, Pune. The said crime has been registered against the applicants for having committed an offence punishable under sections 498-A, 313 readwith 34 of the IPC. 3. The husband of the complainant came to be arrested on 16.8.2008. Insofar as the applicants i.e. parents are concerned, the father is Ex-servicemen whereas the mother is working in the Irrigation Department as a Clerk. It appears that the complainant and the son of the applicants got married on 18.11.2003 and since then till 2005 they were residing separately. In 2005-06 the parents and the couple stayed together and 2 2 2 again since 2007 they have been residing separately. The first miscarriage took place when they were residing separately and other miscarriage took place when they were residing together. The allegations attracting the provisions of section 498-A are general in nature as seen from the FIR. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, in my opinion, the applicants are entitled for the relief of anticipatory bail under section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Hence I pass the following order: . The applicants, in the event of their arrest, to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/- each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to the condition that both the applicants shall report to the concerned police station on the first and third Saturday of every month between 10.00 a.m. and 11.00 a.m. for a period of 90 days or till filing of charge sheet, whichever is earlier. . 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 the order. 3 3 3 (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
