... ... Petitioners Mr. Kushal Paul ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Imran Ali Ms. Debjani Sahu ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners they are the in-laws of the victim-housewife. It is further submitted that petitioners are not the principal accused.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioners may not be necessary in the facts of the present case and they may be granted anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioners, namely (1) Dipendra Nath Roy & (2) Arati Roy (Barman), 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 also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal

Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioners shall appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.

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