The police case was lodged 11 years after the marriage. The statement of the neighbour recorded under Section 161 of the Criminal Procedure Code suggests that there was an altercation between the victim and her parents-in-law with regard to the grand child losing a text book.

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 be 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. 3 shall report before the

Investigating Officer once in a month till the conclusion of the investigation and petitioner nos. 1 and 2 shall cooperate with the investigation till its completion and on further 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.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. CRM (A) 653 of 2023 is disposed of.
