: RAJESH S. PATIL, J.
DATED : APRIL 17, 2025 P.C.:
1.
Mr. Mankapure, learned counsel for the applicant submits that the dispute between the applicant and his wife has now been settled and they both are happily staying together. He submits that the present FIR was filed by the mother-in-law of the present applicant. The wife of the present applicant has tendered a photocopy of her Affidavit of Consent. The original Affidavit of Consent is with the wife of the applicant and the applicant and his wife both are on their way from Pune to come to Mumbai. He undertakes to file the original copy of Affidavit of Consent with the Registry of this Court. 2.
A photocopy of the Affidavit of Consent of the applicant's wife dated 15 April 2025 is taken on record. For ease of reference a
scanned copy of the same is reproduced herein below :
3.
Mr. Mankapure also submits that a Criminal Writ Petition No.1079 of 2025 was filed by the wife of the present applicant for habeas corpus so as to produce the minor son before this Court. He submits that the said Criminal Writ Petition matter was settled between the parties and the wife of the applicant has withdrawn the Criminal Writ Petition No.1079/2025 unconditionally.
4.
The learned APP submits that in view of the settlement between the parties, the custody of the present applicant is not at all necessary.
5.
Considering the submissions made by the counsel for the applicant and the learned APP, the Affidavit of Consent of the wife of the applicant (who is the daughter of complainant), in my view, the grounds are made out to allow the present anticipatory bail application. Hence, I pass the following order.
ORDER
(a) The anticipatory bail application is allowed. (b) In the event of arrest in connection with Crime No. 145/2025 registered with Ghatkopar Police Station the applicant shall be released on bail, on furnishing P.R. bond to the extent of Rs.25,000/- with one or more sureties of the like amount.
(c) The applicant shall co-operate with the investigation and attend and meet the Investigating Officer of the concerned Police Station as and when called by the investigating officer.
(d) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with facts of case so as to dissuade him from disclosing the facts to Court or any Police Officer and further, the applicant shall not tamper with the evidence in any manner whatsoever.
(e) The applicant shall furnish details of his residential addresses, contact numbers and e-mail addresses to the Investigating Officer.
6.
Needless to say, violation of any of the aforesaid conditions would make the applicant liable to face proceedings for cancellation of anticipatory bail. It is clarified that the observations made in this order are limited to the question of grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant in the present application, and that the trial Court shall proceed further, without being influenced by the observations made in this order. 7.
The anticipatory bail application is disposed off. (RAJESH S. PATIL, J.) Signed by: Harish V. Chaudhari Designation: PA To Honourable Judge Date: 19/04/2025 14:08:27
