And In the matter of: Najema Bibi & Ors.

....petitioners.

Mr. Suddhadev Adak ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Binay Panda Mr. Subham Bhakat ...for the State.

Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

(AD) 01.02.2023 Court No.29 (Allowed) The post-mortem report suggests that the death occurred due to poisoning.

Apparently, there was an illicit relationship between the victim and the first petitioner.

There is a delay in the lodgment of the First Information Report.

In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, with two sureties of like amount each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner no.2 will report before the Investigating Officer once a month till the conclusion of the

investigation and petitioner nos.1 and 3 will cooperate with the investigation till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default, the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 410 of 2023 is disposed of.
