O R D E R This petition is for anticipatory bail. 2. The alleged offence is under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code. According to prosecution, first petitioner married defacto complainant and they were living together in first accused's house with his mother and sister (accused nos.2 and 3). All of them tortured defacto complainant physically and mentally. 3. Learned counsel for petitioners submitted that the matter is settled and defacto complainant and first accused are living in a rented house from 19.5.2010 onwards and defacto complainant has no grievance against any of the accused. The defacto complainant is represented by a lawyer and he also conceded that defacto complainant has no grievance against petitioners and he has no objection in granting anticipatory bail. 4. Learned Public Prosecutor was also heard. He also made similar submissions. In the above circumstances, considering the various facts and circumstances, I find that anticipatory bail can be granted to petitioners, failing which, it BA NO.2488/10 2 may affect matrimonial life adversely. Hence, the following order is passed : Petitioners shall surrender before the Magistrate Court concerned within seven days from today and on such surrender, they shall be released on bail on their executing self bond of Rs.10,000/- each on condition that they will not commit any similar offence while on bail. Petition is allowed. K.HEMA, JUDGE. tgs
