PETITION FOR ANTICIPATORY BAIL Under Sec. 438 Cr.P.C.

¶13

ORDER : The Court Made the following order :-

¶14

The petitioner herein apprehending arrest by the respondent police for the offence under Sections 294(b), 307, 498A, 506(1) of IPC r/w 4 of TNPWH Act in Crime No.26 of 2021 seeks anticipatory bail.

¶15

2.The petitioner herein is the husband of the defacto complainant. Due to the matrimonial dispute, the criminal case has been registered. When the anticipatory bail moved by the petitioner, this Court referred the matter to the mediation.

¶16

3.The learned counsel for the petitioner states that before the Mediator, the petitioner has given an undertaking that he is ready to take back his wife and resume the matrimonial relationship.

¶17

Considering the fact that the matter does not require any custodial interrogation. The interim bail granted earlier is made absolute, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner with certain conditions.
