"Settling Disputes Through Mediation Possible": Bombay HC Grants Anticipatory Bail To Man Who Allegedly Gave 'Triple Talaq' On SMS

Live Law  

Noting that it is possible to settle the disputes and differences between the husband and the wife through mediation, the Bombay High Court last week granted anticipatory bail to a man booked for pronouncing triple talaq to her wife by way of sending an SMS. The Bench of Justice Sandeep K. Shinde was hearing the anticipatory bail plea of one Adnan Iqbal Moulvi booked for offences punishable under Section 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of the Muslim Women Act, 2019 at the instance of his wife. Hearing his bail plea, a Sessions Court at Dindoshi, Mumbai had earlier refused to grant him anticipatory bail and that is how he approached the Bombay High Court. The Court observed that the only ground for denying pre-arrest bail by the lower court was that the husband had his wife's ornaments in his custody due to which detailed investigation was necessary.
