The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Protest-cum-Complaint petition C. P. Case No. 1302 of 2018, registered for the offence under Sections 323, 304B, 302/34, 120B of Indian Penal Code, st pending in the Court of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1 Class, Bokaro. 3.
Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the final form was submitted and the petitioner and other co-accused persons have been exonerated. She further submits that the protest petition was filed which was converted into complaint and after inquiry, witnesses were examined and, thereafter, the learned Court has been pleased to take cognizance under Section 323, 304B, 302/34 of the I. P. C. She then submits that the mother-in-law and father-in-law have been granted anticipatory bail by the co-ordinate Bench of this Court in A. B. A. No. 1231-2025. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer of anticipatory bail of the petitioner. 5. Considering that cognizance has been taken on protest-cum-complaint, there is no scope of investigation and in view of that there cannot be a custodial interrogation.
The petitioner has only to answer the summon and appear before the learned Court concerned and co-operate with the trial and in view of that matter, I am inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrender, he will be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of st learned Judicial Magistrate, 1 Class, Bokaro in connection with Protest-cum-Complaint petition C.
