was earlier working in Saudi Arabia. He states that no doubt he has
left that job. He is a young man of about 30 years who cannot be
deprived of his career. In view of pendency of prosecution under
Section 498A, the petitioner was allowed anticipatory bail and he
has remained in country for so long in view of the fact that apart
from facing the prosecution the petitioner is being further put to
trouble by not allowing him to go outside. The petitioner was
allowed anticipatory bail on 19.01.2022 with condition that he will
not leave the country till the conclusion of investigation and he
would co-operate with the investigation. Earlier, the petitioner has
also worked outside the country. The petitioner was allowed bail
on 27.11.2021 and one of the conditions of bail was that he would
not leave the country till conclusion of investigation. The
petitioner remained in custody for 10 days. Thereafter, he was
available for investigation. The petitioner placed reliance on
Annexure-VI which was communication sent to the police
authorities to show his availability.
