- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - B.A. No.4927 of 2014 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Dated this the 17th day of July, 2014 ORDER
Petition filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. The petitioners are accused in crime No.957/2014 of Kalamasseri Police Station, which has been registered for the offences under Sections 323, 403 and 498 A IPC. The first petitioner is the husband of the first informant and petitioners 2 and 3 are his parents and the other petitioners are his close relatives. It is alleged that demanding more dowry, the petitioners assaulted the first informant, subjected her to cruelty and misappropriated her properties.
2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Public Prosecutor.
3. The marriage between the first petitioner and the first informant was solemnised on 09.07.2009. They have one child. The prosecution has no case that the first informant sustained any serious injury. It appears that reunion is not impossible. If the petitioners happen to be detained reunion may not be possible. So I am inclined to B.A. No.4927 of 2014 -2- grant their prayer. In the result, this petition is allowed. 1) The petitioners shall be released on bail on their executing a bond for Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) each with two solvent sureties each for the like sum if they are arrested by the Police in connection with this case. 2) They shall appear before the Investigating Officer for interrogation if they are so required by him in writing. 3) They shall not destroy or tamper with evidence. 4) They shall not harass the defacto complainant or her relatives. 5) This order is not applicable if the petitioners choose to surrender before the Magistrate concerned and in such case the learned Magistrate may take appropriate action in accordance with the law.
