1 ABA 41.11.sxw JPP IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE SIDE JURISDICTION ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION NO. 41 OF 2011 Mr. Achalla Sri Venkata Satya Sai Madhusudhana Rao & Anr. ... Applicants. V/s. The State of Maharashtra. ... Respondent. Mr. A.H.H. Ponda for the Applicant. Mrs. S.D. Shinde, APP for the State. CORAM : A.M. THIPSAY, J. DATED : 9th JUNE 2011. P.C. :- Heard Mr. Ponda, learned Advocate for the Applicants and Mrs. Shinde, learned APP for the State. I have also heard Mrs. M.S. Modhave, P.S.I., Investigating Officer. 2. Padmaja, wife of the Applicant No.1 committed suicide on 11.11.2010 by hanging herself. On 13.1.2011, the mother of the victim lodged a report against the Applicant and the Applicant No.2, who is the mother of the Applicant, alleging commission of offences punishable under Section 498A of I.P.C. and 306 of I.P.C. r/w. 34 of I.P.C. 3. Mr. Ponda submits that the text of the E-mails exchanged between the parties which have been annexed to the 2 ABA 41.11.sxw application itself dis-proves the version of the first informant. There appears to be substance in this contention. 4. Moreover, I find that the Applicants were initially protected by an interim order of anticipatory bail passed on 19th January 2011. Thereafter, the said protection was extended from time to time and continues to be in force till today. Whatever further investigation is required to be done admittedly, does not require the detention of any of the Applicants in the custody. 5. Considering all the relevant aspects of the matter, it would be proper to grant anticipatory bail to the Applicants. 6. It appears that the Applicant No.1 was earlier working abroad and an apprehension is expressed that he might depart from India and may not be available for trial. 7. In view of this, it would be proper to impose appropriate conditions upon the Applicant No.1. 8. The anticipatory bail application is allowed. The interim order passed on 19th January 2011 is confirmed. 9. The Applicant No.1 shall deposit his Pass-port with the Investigating Agency within a period of one week from today. (A.M.
