• third or fourth bail appln I have noticed in the same HC bench, on the same subject
• thankfully HC grants anticipatory: "....Considering the nature of allegations and also the fact that the custodial interrogation is not necessary,..."
• HC says Materials placed before the court for perusal show that the allegations are vague and general in nature.
• what happens to these lives ?
• how many years are lost ?
  
• hope these men fight for male rights and family harmony ??

The marriage between the petitioner and the defacto complainant was solemnized on 24.5.2010. The complaint was lodged only on 1.8.2012. Materials placed before the court for perusal show that the allegations are vague and general in nature.

3.    Considering the nature of allegations and also the fact that the custodial interrogation is not necessary, it is felt that this is a fit case where extra ordinary jurisdiction of this court under Section 438 of Cr.PC can be exercised in favour of the petitioner.    Accordingly, this application is allowed as follows :

1) The petitioner shall surrender before the Investigating Officer on or before 1.10.2012, who after interrogation shall produce the petitioner before the JFCM court concerned, which court on application for bail being filed by the petitioner shall release him on bail on his executing a bond for Rs.10,000/-(Rupees Ten thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the JFCM concerned.

3) The petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Officer for interrogation as and when required by him.

4) The petitioner shall not tamper or attempt to tamper with the evidence and influence or try to influence the witnesses.
