And In Re : Durga Acharjee @ Tara Bose Acharya & Anr. ..... petitioners Ms. Sujata Das .....for the petitioners Mr. Debabrata Chatterjee ....for the State 1.

Learned Counsel for the petitioners submits they are in-laws of the deceased wife. It is also submitted she suffered accidental burn injuries and died. They pray for anticipatory bail.

2.

Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

3.

We have considered the materials on record.

Statements of relations of the deceased say they were informed over telephone that she had set herself on fire. However, statements show she had suffered accidental burn injuries. This is also recorded in the medical papers. In view of the aforesaid facts we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. 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.

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