2. The case of the prosecution is that the first accused, who is the husband of A2/petitioner alleged to have developed a relationship with the defacto complainant by suppressing the fact that he was already married to the petitioner and had sexual contact forcibly with the defacto complainant without her consent and he captured obscene photographs and videos, which he subsequently used to threaten and blackmail her. Hence, the complaint.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is an innocent woman and she has been falsely implicated in the case. The petitioner has not committed any such offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by any stringent conditions imposed by this Court. Therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the

respondent submits that the the petitioner/A2 is the wife of the prime accused A1, who has been secured and in custody. He would further submit that the accused A1 got acquittance with the defacto complainant in a hospital where the defacto complainant was working as Lab technician. The allegation against the present petitioner is that she abused the defacto complainant. Hence, he opposed for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as well the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) and perused the materials available on record.

6. Considering the nature of offence and the allegation against the present petitioner is only that she scolded the defacto complainant and since the prime accused A1 has already been secured and now in judicial custody, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions.

7. 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 Additional Mahila Court, Coimbatore District, on condition that the petitioner shall execute separate bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two
