The case of the prosecution is that the marriage has been performed on 12.09.2010 between the defacto complainant and A1. However, with an intention to marry the third accused/second petitioner herein, the first accused harassed the defacto complainant and hence, a complaint has been given by the defacto complainant on 21.06.2011. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would submit that on the basis of the complaint given by the defacto complainant, a case has been registered under Sections 498(A), 494, 506(i) and 406 of I.P.C. against three persons. He would further submit that A1 is the husband, he was already arrested and enlarged on bail and the first petitioner/A2 is the mother-in-law of the defacto complainant and the second petitioner/A3 is the grand daughter of A2, she is studying 12th standard. Since the second petitioner is studying 12th standard, there is no second marriage. He would further submit that the investigation is going on and hence, he prays for enlargement on anticipatory bail. 4. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor would submit that the marriage has been performed on 12.09.2010 between the defacto complainant and the first accused. However, the petitioner has made an arrangement to marry the A3 and thereby, the first accused harassed the defacto complainant demanding 15 sovereigns of gold and Rs.5 lakhs as an additional dowry. He would further submit that A1 https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ was already arrested and enlarged on bail and hence, he prays for dismissal of this application. 5. Considering the rival submissions made by both sides and also considering the fact that A1, the husband of the defacto complainant was already arrested and enlarged on bail and the first petitioner is the mother of the defacto complainant and the second petitioner is the grand daughter of the first petitioner, she is studying 12th standard and the investigation is considerably over, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, with certain conditions. 6. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of their arrest or on their appearance before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.2, Dindigul and on executing a separate bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that the petitioners shall report before the Court concerned daily at 05.30 p.m. until further orders. The petitioners shall comply with the condition stipulated under Section 438 Cr.P.C. scrupulously. 7. The petitioners shall appear before the concerned Magistrate within a period of 15 days from the date on which the order copy made ready, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail stands dismissed. sd/- 17/08/2011 / TRUE COPY / Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.)
