3. Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record including the First Information Report.

4. Taking into consideration of the facts that it is a case of matrimonial dispute and the fact that the petitioner suppressing the earlier marriage had married the defacto complainant, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is very much required in this case, hence this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
