Heard the learned advocates for the parties.

2.

We have considered the materials on record.

Allegations against the petitioners i.e. parents-in-law of the victim lady are general and omnibus. Custodial interrogation is not necessary for progress of investigation. Accordingly we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

3. Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- 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 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on condition that they shall

appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within a period of four weeks from date.

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