This matter is taken up through hybrid arrangement (video conferencing/physical mode). Heard the 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 connection with Balasore Sadar P.S. Case No. 103 of 2022 corresponding to C.T. Case No.313 of 2022 pending in the Court of learned J.M.F.C.(R), Balasore for commission of the alleged offences punishable under sections 498-A, 302, 304-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. Perused the first information report annexed to the anticipatory bail application.

// 2 // Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners are the parents in-law of the deceased and the main allegation is against the husband of the deceased, who has been taken into judicial custody and therefore, the bail application may be favourably considered.

Learned counsel for the State on the other hand, opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail.

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

The ABLAPL stands disposed of.

Issue urgent certified copy as per Rules.
