And In Re : Bimal Rabidas & Ors.

...... petitioners Mr. Apan Saha ....for the petitioners Mr. S. G. Mukherjee, learned Public Prosecutor Mr. Aniket Mitra Ms. Jonaki Saha ....for the State Petitioners are the in-laws of the victim house-wife. They pray for anticipatory bail.

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

We have considered the materials on record. Statements of the witnesses show petitioners and other in-laws tortured the victim house-wife over demand of dowry. As a result, she committed suicide.

In view of the materials on record and the gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected and the application being CRM (A) 4669 of 2022 is dismissed.
