CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATED : 27TH APRIL, 2009. DATED : 27TH APRIL, 2009. DATED : 27TH APRIL, 2009. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No.19 of 2009 of Pen police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 498-A, 323, 504, 506 r/w 34 of IPC. 3. It appears that the complainant was suspecting that the applicant had an affair with some other lady and on that count he was causing her harassment. I have perused the FIR. The allegations made therein are of general nature. The applicant is a primary 2 2 2 teacher, who, in my opinion, is not likely to flee away from justice and will make himself available for interrogation. Keeping that in view and considering the nature of allegations made in the FIR and the backdrop in which the allegations are made I am inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. Hence the following order: . In the event of arrest, the applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount subject to the conditions stipulated in sub-section (2) of section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Further, the applicant is directed to report to the concerned police station on every Wednesday and Saturday between 6 pm and 7 pm for a period of 90 days from today or till filing of the charge sheet, whichever is earlier. The application is disposed of. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order.
