ORDER : The Court made the following order :- The petitioner, who apprehends arrest at the hands of the respondent Police for the alleged offence under Sections 296(b), 118(1) and 351(3) of BNS, in Crime No.151 of 2024, seeks anticipatory bail.
2. The case of the prosecution is that due to family dispute, the petitioner is said to have assaulted the defacto complainant and caused injury. Hence, the complaint.
3. Heard the learned counsel on either side and perused the material records of the case.
4. Considering the nature of allegations that on account of family dispute, repeatedly the petitioner is indulging in the offence and also considering the fact that there is no bad antecedent as against the petitioner, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail with certain conditions.
5. Accordingly, this Petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail in the event of his arrest or his appearance, within a period of fifteen days from the date of receipt of a copy of this order, before the learned Judicial Magistrate 2/5

It is made clear that no relaxation of the condition for the said period will be entertained by this court;
