Legal Question in Criminal Law in India

Foriegn Travel - 498a case
My wife has registered a case against me and my family under sections 498(a), 406 and 34.
I have plans to visit a foriegn country and my anticipatory bail copy does not mention a term/ condition which bars me from travelling overseas. I have submitted solvent sureties and the same have been accepted.
Please advise what is the risk I face in travelling overseas. Will I be stopped at the airport. In the initial period (when I was underground and in the process of obtaining an anticipatory bail) a look-out notice was issued by the police at the airport but now I have been informed by police the same has been withdrawn. How can I confirm the same.
Please advise can i travel abroad. Sometimes my work demand that I go abroad

Re: Foriegn Travel - 498a case

It may be better for you to file an application in the court seeking permission to travel abroad; one of the implied conditions of bail may usually be that the accused shall not leave the terrirtorial jurisdiction of the court without perior permission;

even if that may not be condition for bail; that may possibly be a part of the undertaking furnished by you in your bail application.

to avoid any risk, prior permission of the court may be better.
