...Petitioners.

Mr. Proloy Bhattacharyya Mr. Koushik Roy ...for the petitioners.

Ms. Zareen N. Khan Mr. Tirthankar Dhali ...for the State.

1. Report filed on behalf of the State is taken on record.

2. The petitioners are the brother-in-law and wife of brotherin-law of the alleged victim. It appears that on the date of occurrence, the husband had performed his duties for the CRPF in the State of Manipur.

3. Heard the learned counsels for the parties.

4. Perused the case diary.

5. Considering the above, the other materials available in the case diary and the fact that one of the prime accused being the mother-in-law of the victim was arrested in connection with this case and another co-accused and the husband of the victim was and is being granted anticipatory bail by this Court and that the charge-sheet has already been submitted, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

6. 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 the Arresting Officer and also be subject to further conditions that the petitioners shall not threaten or intimidate the witnesses. The petitioners shall surrender before the jurisdictional Court and pray for bail within four weeks from date and regularly attend the jurisdictional Court.

7. Accordingly, the application for anticipatory bail is allowed.

8. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon compliance with requisite formalities.
