or acceptable reason, why the offence under Section
498(A) was extended as against the accused Nos. 2 BAIL APPL. NO. 5788 OF 2021
and 3. Hence, they are really standing on a
different footing apart from accused Nos.1.

released on bail on executing a bond for Rs.20,000/-
(Rupees twenty thousand only) each with two solvent
