Apparently, husband committed suicide.

As to whether, the petitioners were involved in the abetment of commission of such suicide, may be decided at the trial. Moreover, there is an aspect of delay in the lodgment of the First Information Report.

In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioner nos.1 and 3 will report before the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and petitioner nos.2 and 4 will cooperate with the investigation till the conclusion of the investigation and on 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. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 822 of 2024 is, thus, disposed of. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
