Perused the F.I.R. annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

Considering the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the petitioner nos.1 and 2 are the parents in law and petitioner no.3 is the alleged second wife of the husband of the informant and the case arises out of a matrimonial dispute and the fact that the offences are triable by Magistrate and after hearing the learned counsel for the State, I am inclined to release the petitioners on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioners in connection with the aforesaid case, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties each for the like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting officer with further conditions that they shall make themselves available for interrogation by the I.O. as and when required and they shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing any facts to the Courts or to the Investigating Officer.
