... ... for the State

1.
It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is the husband

of the victim lady. It is further submitted petitioner and other in-laws

were falsely implicated over a matrimonial discord. Co-accused has

been granted pre-arrest bail. Accordingly, he prays for the same relief.

2. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for

anticipatory bail and submits victim suffered injuries.

3. We have considered the materials on record including the

statement of the victim and injury report. It is alleged one Robin Bouri

i.e. brother-in-law outraged the modesty of the victim. The said co-

accused has been granted pre-arrest bail. Allegation against the

petitioner-husband is with regard to assault. However, injuries are

simple. In view of the aforesaid facts, we are of the opinion custodial

interrogation of the accused/petitioner is not necessary and he may be

granted anticipatory bail.

4. Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest, the

accused/petitioner, namely, Shambhu Bouri, be released on bail upon

of

the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on further condition

that the petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray

for regular bail within four weeks from date.

5. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
