This matter is taken up through Video Conferencing Mode.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the age of petitioner no.1 has been wrongly reflected in the cause title as 48 years instead of 68 years. In view of such submission, the same shall be read as 68 years.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.

This is an application under section 438 of Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in

// 2 // connection with M. Rampur P.S. Case No.233 of 2021 corresponding to C.T. Case No. 451 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., M. Rampur for alleged commission of offence under sections 417/493/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

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

Considering the submission of learned counsel for the petitioners that the main allegation is against coaccused Amit Bhoi and petitioner no.1 is the mother, petitioner no.2 is the elder brother and petitioner no.3 is the sister-in-law of the main accused and the nature of accusation against the petitioners may at best constitute an offence under section 506 of the Indian Penal Code and after going through the F.I.R. and on 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

// 3 // 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. Violation of any of the conditions shall entail cancellation of bail. The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

Urgent certified copy of this order be granted on proper application.
