Petitioner seeks anticipatory bail.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the married sister-in-law of the deceased. The husband was granted bail by the jurisdictional Court. The petitioner was living separately.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the contents in the case diary including the statements recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

Considering the fact that the husband was granted bail by the jurisdictional Court and considering the gravity of the offence and the complicity of the petitioner therein, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 will cooperate with the investigation and shall appear before the jurisdictional Court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

The application for anticipatory bail being C.R.M.(A) 660 of 2022 is, thus, disposed of.
