Cri.B.A.No.697/22­Order­Ex.1.

It is the case of the prosecution that the applicants
being husband and in­laws of the informant, have illtreated and
harassed her for unlawful demand.

4.

On perusal of record, it reveals that report came to be
lodged on 12.02.2022. In the report itself, it is mentioned that
informant is residing at her maternal house since the year 2021.
She has filed complaint in Counselling Center at Malegaon but
there was no response from her in­laws, thereby she has
proceeded to lodge report.

Thus, there is vast delay in lodging
the report and same is not explained by the informant.

5.

The ld. Advocate for the Applicants submitted that the
informant is residing separately on her own.

Her husband
applicant No.1 has filed marriage petition for divorce.
the same is produced on record.

Copy of
Considering all these aspects,
prima facie it appears that the dispute between the parties is
purely marital in nature thereby false implication cannot be
ruled out.

Now, IO has filed say but there is no substantial
grounds to resist the application. It appears that the applicants
have cooperated the investigation.

6.

As per the contention of the Ld. Advocate for the
applicants, the applicants have no criminal antecedents. They
are ready to abide any condition on grant of bail.

Therefore,
