A.D.JAGADISH CHANDIRA,J.

The petitioner who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent police for the offences punishable under Sections 294(b), 323, 324, 506(i) of IPC in Crime No.200 of 2022, seeks anticipatory bail.

2. The case of the prosecution is that, due to property dispute, the petitioner, who is the daughter-in-law of the defacto complainant, had abused and intimidated the defacto complainant. Hence, the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is an innocent person and she has been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that, due to family dispute, false case has been lodged by the defacto complainant and would also submit that it is a case and case in counter. Hence, he seeks for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) would submit that there was a quarrel in between the daughter-in-law and mother-in-

law on account of property, due to which, the petitioner had abused and attacked the defacto complainant. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

5. Taking into consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the allegations made against the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail with certain conditions.

6. Accordingly, the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of arrest or on her appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date on which the order copy made ready, before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Alandur on condition that the petitioner shall execute a bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) 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, failing which, the petition for anticipatory bail shall stand dismissed and on further condition that:
