..... … Opposite Parties
-------- CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY KUMAR DWIVEDI
------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Krishna Prajapati, Advocate. For the State
: Mr. Shree Prakash Jha, A.P.P. ------ 04/ 21.09.2026 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P for the State.
2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Bermo (Mahila) P.S. Case No. 18 of 2025, for offence registered under Sections 69, 352, 318(2) and 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, pending in court of learned Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Bermo at Tenughat.
3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner happened to be the elder brother-in-law of the informant. He next submits that the informant has concealed the fact that her husband has filed a petition for nullity of marriage before the learned court under Section 25(iii) of Special Marriage Act seeking a decree of nullity and thereafter the present case has been lodged. He further submits that the husband of the informant has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by this court in A.B.A. No. 169 of 2026. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be provided to the petitioner.
4. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State has opposed the prayer and submits that the petitioner happened to be the elder brother-
[ 2026:JHHC:28519]
in-law of the informant. On this ground, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected.
5. Considering that the husband of the informant has already been provided the privilege of anticipatory bail by this court in the aforementioned A.B.A. and the petitioner happened to be the elder brother-in-law of the informant and further the husband of the informant has filed a petition for nullity of marriage before the learned court under Section 25(iii) of Special Marriage Act seeking a decree of nullity and thereafter the present case has been lodged and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to provide the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, named above.
6. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrender, he shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub- Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Bermo at Tenughat, in connection with Bermo (Mahila) P.S.
