pursuant to an order dated 11^th August, 2017 passed by this Court in ABA No.1340 of 2017.

¶24

It is averred that in R.C.C. No. 770 of 2018 arising out of CR No. 164 of 2017, the applicant and the co-accused came to be acquitted.

¶25

I have perused the copy of the judgment and order passed by the learned J.M.F.C., Panvel on 5^th October, 2019. The applicant and the co-accused have been acquitted of the offences punishable under Sections 498A, 406, 323, 504 and 506 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

¶26

This Court had ordered the release of the applicant on prearrest bail on subject to the condition of depositing of Rs.1,00,000/- as price of Stridhan of the first informant. In the judgment in R.C.C. No.770 of 2018, the learned Magistrate has, inter alia, recorded that the applicant and the co-accused had not committed breach of trust qua the property of the first informant. As the applicant has been acquitted of the offences in CR No. .164 of 2017 in which the applicant was directed to make the deposit, there is no reason to continue to have the amount deposited with this Court.
