Cr.MP(M) No.556 of 2009 10.7.2009 Present: Mr. Dushyant Dadwal, Advocate, for the applicants. Mr. P.M. Negi, Dy. Advocate General, for the respondent. Heard and gone through the record. A case under Section 498-A and 506-A IPC has been registered against the applicants, who are the husband, father-in-law, mother-in-law and sisters-in-law of complainant Reena Mahajan. Case has been registered on the basis of her written complaint, submitted to the Deputy Commissioner on 30.6.2009. One act of alleged cruelty dates back to the year 2006, while the others are of March, 2009 and the last one is of 4.6.2009. According to complaint, in March, 2009, fed up with the ill-treatment meted out to her, complainant left the applicants’ place (her matrimonial home) for her parents’ place. On 4.6.2009, when she went back to her matrimonial home, accompanied by her father, brother and a cousin, she was slapped and threatened that in case she entered the house again, she would be done to death. This incident took place on 4th June, 2009, but the matter was reported to police on 30th June, 2009. Learned Deputy Advocate General says that the applicants have not joined investigation so far. There is nothing on record, indicating that any Hukamnama was sent to the applicants to join investigation. Looking to the facts and the circumstances of the case, particularly the fact that entire family of the applicants has been booked and no recovery is to be effected, I am of the view that custodial interrogation of the applicants is not required. Consequently, application is allowed and it is ordered that in the event of their arrest, -2 - Cr. MPM 556/2009 applicants shall be released on their furnishing bail bonds in the sum of Rs.10,000/- each, with one surety, each in the like amount, to the satisfaction of the Investigating Officer. The order is subject to the condition that the applicants shall join investigation as and when called upon to do so. The order is also subject to further condition that the dowry articles, which may be there with the applicants, shall be returned to the complainant, in case she so desires.
