Judgment : 1. Petitioners apprehend arrest by the Petta police and have filed this application for pre-arrest bail. 2. Learned Public Prosecutor has submitted that no case is registered against the petitioners at the Petta Police station. But a complaint is received alleging offence under Sec.498A of the Penal Code against the son of the petitioner. The learned Public Prosecutor however was not able to tell me whether the complaint implicates the petitioners or any of them. In the light of the above, following directions are issued: In case any case is registered by the Petta police against the petitioners for the offence under Sec.498A of the Penal Code, for allegedly subjecting their daughter-in-law to cruelty and petitioners are arrested, they shall be released on bail on their executing bond for Rs.15,000/- (Rupees Fifteen thousand only) each with two sureties each for the like sum each before the arresting officer and subject to the following conditions: a) That they shall report to the investigating officer as and when required for interrogation at all reasonable time and place. b) That they shall co-operate with the investigation of the case. c) That they shall not intimidate/influence the witnesses. d) It is made clear that in case any of the above conditions is violated, it is open to the Investigating Officer to seek cancellation of the bail granted hereby by moving application before the jurisdictional Magistrate as held in P.K. Shaji V. State of Kerala (AIR 2006 Supreme Court 100).
