In the matter of: Rinki Khatun & Ors.

...Petitioners.

Mr. Tapodip Gupta Mr. Suman Bhanja ...for the petitioners.

Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharyya Mr. Santanu Deb Roy ...for the State.

1. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits as follows. The petitioners are the sister-in-law, the motherin-law and the father-in-law of the alleged victim. The husband was arrested and was thereafter granted bail. The incident happened two years after marriage. Charge sheet has been submitted.

2. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. She refers to the postmortem report and the statements of witnesses including of neighbours.

3. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary, the fact that husband was arrested and was thereafter granted bail and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. 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, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer and also be subject to further conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioners shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from date and regularly attend the jurisdictional Court.

5. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
