This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode).

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.

This is an application under section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with Kumbharpada P.S. Case No. 23 of 2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No. 113 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned S.D.J.M., Puri for commission of alleged offences under sections 498-A, 294, 323, 494, 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Perused the F.I.R. annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

// 2 // Considering submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioners are the in-laws of the informant and petitioner nos.3 and 4 are the Government servants working as Ayush Doctors in the district of Mayurbhanja and the main allegation is against the husband of the informant, the case arises out of a matrimonial dispute and the fact that the offences are triable by Magistrate and on hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and they shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the Investigating Officer.

Violation of any of the above conditions shall entail cancellation of bail.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.
