abs IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO. 3090 OF 2007 Smt.Kutbunnisa Haji Ainulla Khan .. Applicant V/s The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr.Majeed Memon for the applicant. Mr.K.V. Saste, A.P.P. for the State. CORAM : D.G. KARNIK, J. DATE : 15TH FEBRUARY 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. : 1. Heard. 2. By this application, the applicant seeks pre-arrest bail in connection with a crime bearing C.R. No. 102/2007 registered with Vinoba Bhave Nagar Police Station, Kurla for the offence punishable under sections 498-A, 406, 506(II) read with 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The applicant is the mother-in-law of the original complainant. The original complainant is - 2 - present in court and is identified by the advocate for the applicant. She states that the matter has been settled and she has no objection for grant of bail to the applicant. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the husband and other relatives of the original complainant have already been granted bail. He also tenders before me a copy of the consent terms stated to have been tendered in the City Civil Court at Mumbai in Suit No.2405 of 2007. In para 6 of the consent terms, the complainant has stated that she would not proceed with the complaint in C.R. No.102 of 2007. 5. In my view, as the parties have settled the matter, the arrest of the applicant at this stage may hamper the relationship between the parties and their relations may get spoilt. Further, taking into consideration the fact that the complainant has no grievance at least for the time being and that other relatives have been granted bail, in my view, the applicant is entitled to pre-arrest bail. Hence, I pass the following order. ORDER ORDER ORDER In the event of the arrest of the applicant in - 3 - connection with the offence mentioned above, she shall be released on bail on executing personal bond of Rs.15,000/- with one surety of the like amount. This order shall come to an end after the charge sheet is filed whereupon the applicant may apply for regular bail before the regular court. (D.G. KARNIK, J.)
