JUDGMENT 1. - In a bail application under Section 438 Cr.P.C. moved on behalf of the petitioners before the learned Sessions Judge, Ajmer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in a case for commission of offence under Sections 406 and 498-A IPC, while deciding the bail application vide order dated 20.01.2009 the learned Sessions Judge has imposed a condition that if the mother-in-law and husband of the complainant surrender before the Investigation Officer, the petitioners shall be released on anticipatory bail. Being aggrieved of the condition so imposed by the learned Sessions Judge in the order dated 20.01.2009, the petitioners have filed this petition under Section 482 Cr.P.C. 2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned P.P. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that an accused cannot be asked to get the another accused surrendered and such a condition cannot be imposed while granting anticipatory bail to an accused. Thus, the condition imposed by the learned Sessions Judge is totally illegal and amounts to an abuse of process of the law. 4. It is true that while considering anticipatory bail, the accused petitioner cannot be directed to force the co-accused to surrender before the police or the court. It is for the police to arrest the accused if a cognizable offence is made out against an accused and if his arrest is required for the purposes of investigation but accused persons are not supposed to aid in the investigation by getting to surrender another accused. In the instant case the burden of the police has been shifted on the petitioners who have been enlarged on anticipatory bail to get the co-accused surrendered which is contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure and beyond the legal authority of he Sessions Judge. The, learned Sessions Judge has no power either under the Cr.PC. or any other statute to impose such condition which is contrary to the law. The criminal misc. petition deserves to be allowed on this point. 5. Consequently, the misc. petition is allowed and the condition imposed by the Sessions Judge, Ajmer in the bail order dated 20.01.2009 directing the petitioners to get the co-accused (mother-in-law and husband of 1 the complainant) surrendered stands deleted. The rest of the order is maintained.Petition Allowed. *******
