...for the petitioners.
Mr. Saibal Bapuli, Mr. Arani Bhattacharyya.
...for the State.
Md. Abdur Rakib, Mr. Biswajit Sarkar, Mr. Mejohid Mehedi.
...for the de facto complainant.
Heard the learned counsels for the parties.
Perused the case diary.
Considering the materials available in the case diary, the fact that the principal accused being the husband was arrested and was granted bail, the alleged roles ascribed to the present petitioners being the mother and the sisters in law of the alleged victim and the fact that charge sheet has been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the present petitioners. Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the
satisfaction of Arresting Officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, corresponding to Section 482 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and on further condition that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence and shall surrender before the learned jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from this date.
The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of. Urgent photostat certified copies of this order may be delivered to the learned Advocates for the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all formalities.
