Hence, the case. 3.The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is no way connected with the death of his father-in-law and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence prays for grant of anticipatory bail.

4.The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent submits that the petitioner, suppressing his earlier marriage, married the daughter of the deceased and hence, there was a quarrel between the petitioner, his mother and the daughter of the deceased, due to which, the father-in-law of the petitioner, committed suicide which requires a 1/3

detailed investigation. Hence, he opposed to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Taking into consideration the nature of offence and the submission made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) that this case required a detailed investigation, this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 11.06.2024 ssi 2/3
