Justice Ajit Singh cited the same as one of the considerations to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant after his daughter-in-law had filed a rape case against him and another man. The order stated,
“…considering the nature of accusations and the antecedents of the applicant, considering the gravity of the offence, considering that it is quite unnatural that a father-in-law shall commit rape of his own daughter-in-law along with some other person in our Indian culture, considering that the accusation has been made falsely with the object of injuring or humiliating his reputation in the society…
…In the event of arrest of the applicant, he shall be released on anticipatory bail on his furnishing a personal bond with two sureties each in the like amount of Rs. 25,000/- to the satisfaction of the Station House Officer concerned…”
