Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that, the police complaint was lodged four years after the marriage. The police filed charge-sheet and, therefore, custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required.

Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected and the application being CRM (A) 3022 of 2022 is dismissed.
