Mr.N.R.Dhanawade, Advocate i/b Vaibhav and Associates, for the Applicant. Mr.H.J.Dedhia, A.P.P., for the Respondent/State. ............... CORAM: A.P.DESHPANDE, J. Dated 25th August, 2009. PC:- 1 The Applicant is husband whereas the Complainant is wife. The parties married way back in the year 1989 and out of the wedlock two children are born, one is daughter aged about 18 years and other is son aged about 12 years. Both children are residing with the Applicant. The Applicant is presently posted at Syria, Damascas. Even at the time of marriage the Applicant was posted abroad. The relations between the Applicant and the Complainant are strained on account of matrimonial dispute. The Complainant filed the First Information Report with Bazar Peth Police Station, Kalyan consequent upon which the Crime No.I-91/2009 came to be registered under Sections 498-A, 406 and 34 of the Indian Penal *2* Code against the present Applicant and six other persons including the aged parents and near relatives. 2 According to the learned counsel for the Applicant, the filing of complaint is aimed at pressurizing the Applicant and his family in submitting to the illegal demands of the Complainant. 3 Be that as it may, during the pendency of the present application, interim protection was granted to the Applicant as the Applicant has shown his readiness and willingness to cooperate in the investigation and to attend the Police Station daily. Accordingly, the Applicant was directed to attend the Police Station daily for a period of one week and co-operate with the investigation. 4 The learned APP on instructions from the Investigating Officer informs that the Applicant has co-operated with the investigation and handed over all the relevant papers including the insurance papers. 5 According to the learned counsel for the Complainant whose intervention is permitted, the original papers of the two wheeler vehicle (scooty) are in possession of the Applicant. 6 The learned counsel for the Applicant makes a statement that the said papers would be deposited with the Investigating Officer within two days from today for being handed over to the Complainant. 7 It, thus, transpires that there is no need for custodial interrogation. In the result, the present application is allowed. I direct that in the event of arrest of the Applicant in Crime No.I-91/2009 registered at Bazar Peth Police Station, Kalyan for the offences punishable under Sections 498-A, 406 and 34 of the Indian *3* Penal Code, the Applicant shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond in a sum of Rs.5,000/- with one surety in the like amount. The Applicant shall abide by the conditions stipulated under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. 8 The Application is allowed and disposed of accordingly. (A.P. Deshpande, J)
