-AndIn the matter of : Promoth Mandal @ Pramotha Mondal & Ors. ... ... Petitioners Ms. Minoti Gomes, Advocate Mr. Musxharraf Alam Sk., Advocate Ms. Susmita Ghorai, Advocate ... ... For the Petitioners Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, ld. PP Mr. Aniket Mitra, Advocate ... ...For the State Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Apparently, the victim committed suicide. The husband was arrested. The investigations are yet to be concluded. The allegations against the petitioners appear to be omnibus and general in nature.

In such circumstances, we are inclined to 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 be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that the petitioner nos. 1 and 3 will report before the Investigating Officer once in 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 further 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.

Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed. CRM (A) 5902 of 2022 is disposed of.
