Petitioner prays for anticipatory bail.

Petitioner before us is the father-in-law.

The husband was arrested and granted bail by the jurisdictional court.

Police filed charge-sheet.

In such circumstances, we grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only), 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 condition that the petitioner 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 petitioner in court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. CRM(A) 4975 of 2023 is disposed of.
