Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners/Accused Nos.1 to 4 and the learned Assistant Public Prosecutor for the respondentState. Notice sent to the 2nd respondent. Perused the record. 3.

According to the complaint, these petitioners and the deceased belong to the same family. They picked up quarrel with the deceased (father of the de facto complainant) and also the de facto complainant's uncle and abused them in a language attracting penal consequences under SC/ST Act. Further Accused No.1 filed a criminal complaint against both the deceased and the uncle of the de facto complainant. Unable to bear the humiliation of a criminal

complaint being filed, the father of the de facto complainant consumed poison and committed suicide.

Admittedly, the 1st petitioner/Accused aggrieved by the conduct of the deceased and the uncle of the de facto complainant, filed a complaint before the concerned police station. The said act of the 1st petitioner would not amount to abetting suicide. For the said reasons, these petitioners can be granted the relief of anticipatory bail.
