Heard the learned Counsel for the respective parties. 2. This is an application for anticipatory bail by a husband against whom his wife has filed a complaint of the offence punishable under Sections 498A & 420 of the Indian Penal Code. According to the learned Counsel for the applicant, the allegations of the Complainant are not correct and she relies 2 Appln 5532-10 on a letter received by Email on Google mail account on 29th June, 2010. The first informant was examined by police after this application was filed and she has stated that she has not received her passport and possibly her signatures were available with her husband. He might have opened an account with the Bank. She states that the parties are separated in October, 2009 and therefore, Email on Google dated 29th June, 2010 may not have any significance. Considering the nature of allegations made against the applicant, it cannot be said that applicant's presence in custody is not necessary for the purpose of investigating into the complaint of withdrawing a sum of Rs.20,00,000/- from the wife's account. 3. In view of this, Criminal Application is rejected. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.) 3 Appln 5532-10
