-AndIn the matter of : Paritosh Mondal & Anr. ... ... Petitioners Mr. Soumik Ganguli, Advocate ... ... For the Petitioners Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, ld. PP Mr. Aniket Mitra, Advocate ... ...For the State Postmortem report of the victim suggests that the victim died out of poisoning. The husband of the victim was enlarged on bail by the jurisdictional Court.

Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and considering the fact that the husband of the victim was enlarged on bail by the jurisdictional Court, we are inclined to 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 also be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioner no. 1 shall report before the Investigating Officer once in a fortnight till the conclusion of the

investigation and petitioner no. 2 shall cooperate with the investigation till its completion and on further 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.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. CRM (A) 4478 of 2022 is disposed of.
