ORDER : The Court Made the following order :- The petitioners, who apprehend arrest for the alleged offence under Sections 498A, 294(b) & 506(ii) of IPC in Cr.No.5 of 2021 on the file of the respondent police, seek anticipatory bail. 2.The case of the prosecution is that the petitioners along with their son made dowry harassment and threatened the defacto complainant by using filthy language. Thereby, the law enforcing agency registered a case against the petitioners. 3.

The learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submit that the petitioners have not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution and they have been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that though this Court had granted anticipatory bail in Crl.O.P.No.8486 of 2021 dated 06.05.2021, the petitioner could not submit the sureties before the concerned court due to covid-19 pandemic thereby, the early order stands dismissed. Hence, the second anticipatory bail petitioner was filed by the petitioners. Accordingly, he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4.The learned Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent submits that the petitioners along with their son made dowry harassment and threatened the defacto complainant by using filthy language. He further submits that this is the second anticipatory bail petition filed by the petitioners. Hence, he vehemently opposed for granting anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. Considering the fact that due to covid-19 pandemic, the petitioners could not submit the sureties before the concerned court, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 6.Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on their appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Tiruvaru, on condition that the petitioners shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that: (a)the petitioners and the sureties shall affix their photographs and left thumb impression in the surety bond and the Court concerned may obtain a copy of their Aadhar card or Bank pass Book to ensure their identity;
