The applicant apprehends arrest, in Crime NO. 196 of 2011, registered with Gangakhed Police Station, District Parbhani, under sections 306, 2 Cri.A.5151.11 498-A, and 504 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. One Kumodini, since deceased was wife of applicant's brother. FIR is filed by father of said Kumodini. As per FIR, the applicant was required to intervene and convince the nearest relatives from the side of the husband of Kumodini that they should not harass deceased Kumodini. In reply to that present applicant is said to have suggested to the parents of the deceased Kumoidni if Rupees Two lakhs are not paid your daughter would be harassed and what can you do. On going through the police papers, except this statement of the present applicant, there is no any other additional material. 3. Mr. Sandanshiv, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the original complainant i.e. father of deceased submitted that this stand is sufficient to hold that prima facie case is made out against the present applicant. 4. Having considered the record, I am inclined 3 Cri.A.5151.11 to observe that by information stated in the complaint about present applicant, it would go to show that the present applicant was taking side of the husband and was not supporting parents of deceased Kumodini. That by itself is not sufficient to reject an application for anticipatory bail and permit the investigation agency to go for custodial interrogation. In my view, discretion to grant anticipatory bail can be exercised in favour of the present applicant. Hence, following order is passed. (i) In the event of arrest of the applicant in connection with Crime NO. 196 of 2011, registered with Gangakhed Police Station, District Parbhani, under sections 306, 498- A, and 504 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, he be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/-(RupeesFifteen Thousand) with one surety in the like amount. 4 Cri.A.5151.11 The applicant shall execute P.R. bond of sum of Rs.15,000/-(Rupees Fifteen Thousand). (ii) The applicant shall report the concerned Police Station on every Monday and Friday between 11.00 to 4.00 p. m. till filing of the charge-sheet. . The Criminal Application stands disposed of in the above terms accordingly. Sd/- [ R.Y.GANOO, J. ] MTK 5 Cri.A.5151.11
