ORDER

23.02.2022 01.

This matter is taken up through Hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode).

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

This is an application under section 438 Cr.P.C. for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners in connection with C.T. Case No.791 of 2021 arising out of Jaleswar P.S. Case No.357 of 2021 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C., Jaleswar for alleged commission of offences under sections 498-A/302/294/506/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with section 4 of the D.P. Act.

Perused the first information report annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are the parents-in-law of the deceased and

// 2 // there is no specific allegation against them so as to constitute ingredients of offence under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code and therefore, the anticipatory bail application of the petitioners may be favourably considered.

Learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the respective parties, while not inclining to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners, it is observed that in the event the petitioners surrender in the Court below and move for bail before the learned Court below within a period of four weeks from today, the same shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible by the Courts below in accordance with law. The case records shall be made available to the Court concerned for adjudication of the bail application.

The ABLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

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

( S.K. Sahoo) Judge RKM
