Heard learned Advocates for both the parties. 2.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is the brother-in-law of the victim lady. Allegations against him are general and omnibus. Allegation of outraging modesty is levelled against the father-in-law and not the petitioner. Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail.

3.

Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioner, namely, Mirza Shoyeb Akhter, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), 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 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioner shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

4.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
