Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. 2. Petitioner is the 1st accused in Crime No.786/2014 of Kadakkavoor Police Station, registered for the offences punishable under Section 498A IPC read with Section 34 IPC.
3. The allegation against the petitioner and the other accused is that they have tortured and harassed the defacto complainant, who is the wife of the petitioner and treated her with cruelty within the meaning of Section 498A IPC.
4. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Public Prosecutor and perused the CD.
5. The contents of the CD reveal that the investigation of this case is practically over. The custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required for the continued investigation of this case. Having regard to the fact that this is a matrimonial dispute, I am of the view that this is a fit case wherein anticipatory bail can be granted to the petitioner.
6. In the result, this bail application is allowed and the investigating officer or such other police officer, who is conducting the arrest of the petitioner, is directed to enlarge the petitioner on bail in the event of his arrest on his executing a bond for `25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the officer conducting arrest, and subject to the following terms and conditions:-
(i) The petitioner shall report before the investigating officer in between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Fridays and Mondays, commencing from 21.11.2014 for a period of three months or till the filing of the final report in this case, whichever is earlier.
(ii) The petitioner shall not tamper with the evidence or influence witnesses.
(iii) The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
(iv) The petitioner shall not involve in any offence while on bail.
It is made clear that the violation of any of the conditions stipulated above will result in the cancellation of bail.
