In this application for anticipatory bail the petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Bhargama P.S. Case No. 101 of 2016 for the offences punishable under section 304 B/34 of the I.P.C.

Bibi Meena Khatoon, the daughter of the informant, was married to Md. Mansoor six years ago.

In the facts and circumstances as stated above, considering that the petitioners are father-in-law and mother-inlaw having no specific allegation and as such the petitioners, in case of their arrest or surrender within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of.
