O R D E R
This petition is for anticipatory bail.
2. The alleged offence is under Section 498A of the Indian
Penal Code. Learned counsel for petitioners submitted that accused
2 to 6 are already deleted from the array of accused and charge
sheet has been laid only against first petitioner. First petitioner
intends to surrender before the Magistrate Court concerned and
hence, this petition is not pressed, it is submitted.
On hearing both sides, I am satisfied that the following order
is passed:
1) First petitioner shall surrender before the
Magistrate Court concerned or the
investigating officer within 7 days from
today and whether he surrenders or not,
police is at liberty to arrest him and
proceed in accordance with law.
2) No further petition for anticipatory bail in
this crime by first petitioner will be
entertained by this Court hereafter.
3) Prayer for anticipatory bail by petitioners 2
to 6 is rejected as infructuous.
Petition is dismissed.
