// 2 // commission of alleged offences under sections 342, 323, 324, 325, 307, 379, 34 of the Indian Penal Code. In view of the specific overt act attributed against petitioner no.4 Khirod Parida, while not inclining to grant anticipatory bail to him, it is observed that in the event petitioner no.4 surrenders in the learned Court below and moves for bail, the learned Courts below shall dispose of the same in accordance with law expeditiously.

So far as petitioner nos.1 Sabitri Parida @ Sabi and petitioner no.2 Sumitra Parida are ladies and petitioner no.3 Subash Parida @ Tunia and petitioner no.5 Debakanta Parida are concerned, taking into account the nature of accusation and absence of any specific overt act against them, I am inclined to release petitioner nos.1, 2, 3 and 5 on anticipatory bail and accordingly, this Court directs that in the event of arrest of the petitioner nos.1, 2, 3 and 5 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
