The petitioner/A4 seeks anticipatory bail in Crime No.280 of 2022 registered by the respondent Police for the offence under Sections 294(b), 354(C), 506(ii) of IPC r/w Section 66(E) of Information Technology Act, 2000. 2.The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner and the other accused had threatened the de facto complainant by stating that they would send pictures of the de facto complainant which would be to her disadvantage in any circumstance to her own husband. The matter had been adjourned by my learned predecessor directing the petitioner to file an affidavit. Affidavit has not yet been filed.

3.Taking into consideration the seriousness of the offence and the intention of the petitioner to interfere with the marriage life of the de facto complainant, anticipatory bail stands dismissed. Since the petitioner had been given sufficient liberty to file necessary affidavit and has still not complied with, the respondents are directed to take the petitioner into custody and report before this Court.

4.For reporting compliance, list the matter on 9.11.2023. If on that day the investigating officer to be present.
