Learned Public Prosecutor on instructions submitted that the first accused who is the husband of the de facto complainant alone is an accused in the case and that petitioners 2 and 3 have since been deleted from the array of accused. If so, the apprehension of arrest and harassment entertained by petitioners 2 and 3 is unfounded. In the case of the first petitioner, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to him. Accordingly, a direction is issued to the officer-in-charge of the police station concerned to release the 1st petitioner on bail for a period of one month in the event of their his in connection with the above case on his executing a bond for Rs.10,000/- with two solvent sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the said officer and subject to the following conditions: 1. 1st Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays.

If the 1st petitioner commits breach of any of the above conditions, the bail granted to him shall be liable to be cancelled. This application is allowed as above. V.RAMKUMAR,JUDGE. dsn
