Heard learned Advocates for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record.

Victim-housewife had suffered burn injuries and died.

Statements of witnesses show petitioner i.e. the mother-in-law subjected her to torture.

Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. (Uday Kumar, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
