This is an application seeking anticipatory bail in case FIR No.59 dated 17.3.2010 under Sections 406/498-A IPC, P.S. Sector 19, Chandigarh. Learned counsel for the petitioner, complainant as well as Union Territory, Chandigarh, made statement that one petition seeking dissolution of marriage filed by the wife – complainant is pending disposal CRM-M No.13074 of 2010 2 before the competent Court. Learned counsel for the complainant has vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that jewellry items have not been returned as yet. In the opinion of this Court, since divorce petition already filed by the wife is pending disposal before the competent Court, the Court hearing the petition for dissolution of marriage can always pass order for the return of dowry articles/Istridhan/jewellry by invoking Section 27 of the Hindu Marriage Act. There is still a dispute about the articles given during or at the time of marriage, which can be resolved by the competent Court hearing the petition of dissolution of marriage. Considering totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, present petition is allowed. Order dated 6.5.2010 is made absolute, subject to the limitations provided under Section 438(2) of the Code. Petitioner – accused shall participate in the investigation as and when he is required.
