¶17

there is no criminal antecedent of the petitioner and this is not a case of custodial trial.

¶18

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the de facto complainant has submitted that the name of the mother of the daughters was forged.

¶19

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State has vehemently opposed the anticipatory bail prayer and relied on the case diary particularly the name of the mother of the daughters.

¶20

Having heard the learned counsel and the materials placed before this Court, I find that this is not a case for custodial trial.

¶21

Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed .

¶22

I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner will be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount of Rs. 5,000/(Rupees Five Thousand only) each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of BNSS, and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioner in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.

¶23

Thus, the application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M. (A) 1922 of 2025 stands disposed of.

¶25

Leave is granted to the learned advocate for the petitioner to make necessary corrections in the cause title.
