The petitioners who apprehend arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 419 and 420 of IPC r/w Section 15 of the Indian Medical Counsel Act, 1956 in Crime No.739 of 2023, seek anticipatory bail. 2.The 1st accused had filed Crl.O.P.No.23183 of 2023 and the 2nd accused had filed Crl.O.P.No.22929 of 2023.

3.It is stated that the 2nd accused is the owner of the building and the 1st accused is running a scan centre in that building. The specific case of the respondent is that they had found a damaged Sonoray Scan Machine in that scan centre. It is also stated by the respondent that the petitioners were conducting scan and disclosing the sex of the foetus in the womb, which is prohibited and it is also seen that the petitioners do not have necessary qualification for conducting scan. It would only cause complications for the mother and much mental agony for the parents and everybody.
