Mr. Angshuman Chakraborty Mr. S. Basu ...for the petitioners.

Mr. Bidyut Kumar Roy Ms. Rita Datta ...for the State.

Mr. Krishna Nanda Mukherjee Mr. Shankar Mukherjee ... for the de facto complainant.

(AD) 22.11.2022 Court No.29 (Allowed) Petitioners pray for anticipatory bail.

Petitioners, State and the de facto complainant are represented.

Learned Advocate appearing for the de facto complainant submits, on instructions, that his client received the stridhan articles.

The police complaint was lodged after five years of marriage.

The petitioners are the husband and the mother-in-law of the de facto complainant.

The allegations as against the petitioners seem to be omnibus and general in nature.

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 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 petitioner no.1 will report before the Investigating Officer once a fortnight till the conclusion of the investigation and petitioner no.2 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. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 4906 of 2022 is disposed of.
