Counsel for the petitioner submits that the marriage between this petitioner and defacto complainant took place on 15.02.2017 and the allegation against this petitioner is that this petitioner demanded an amount of Rs.25,00,000/- towards dowry, which is highly impossible in view of the demonetisation.

This Court finds some force in the said contention. Considering the said fact and considering that the petitioner is a Government employee and he would not lose the job, this court opines that this is a fit case for granting anticipatory bail.

The petitioner/ A1 is directed to surrender before the Station House Officer, Wyra Police Station, Khammam District, within 15 days from the date of this order. On such surrender, he shall be released on bail on his executing personal bond for a sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand only) each with two sureties each for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the said Station House Officer.
