Heard the learned counsels for the petitioners, complainant and the State. The petitioners being the mother, brother, maternal uncle and the husband are apprehending their arrest in complaint case in which cognizance has been taken under Sections 498A, 341, 323, 504,506 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the D. P. Act. The accusation is of committing torture after marriage. It appears that before lodging of present complaint the petitioners’ side lodged the case against the complainant’s family under Sections 365, 364A, 379, 323 of the I.P.C. and Section 27 of the Arms Act. The complainant is the sister of maternal aunt of the alleged husband. 2 It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that since the parents of the alleged husband are not alive hence the maternal uncle used to take care of the husband and the alleged husband’s elder sisters are still unmarried. Hence, the alleged husband denies the alleged marriage. The disputed question of performance marriage can not be decided in the present proceeding. It appears that the marriage is in serious dispute. Moreover, since the case has been lodged against the complainant’s side prior in time in which as it is submitted by the learned counsel for the complainant that cognizance has still not been taken, let the petitioners, Jai Rani Devi alias Chandra Lekha Devi, Prakash Chandra Kumar, Ashok Kumar and Krishna Chandra Kumar alias Krishnachand Kumar, be released on bail in the event of arrest or surrender before the learned court below within a period of twelve weeks from today in connection with complaint case no. 483C of 2010 on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like 3 amount each to the satisfaction of the learned S.
