...... petitioners Mr. Soumyajit Das Mahapatra ....for the petitioners Mr. Swapan Banerjee Ms. Purnima Ghosh ....for the State The post mortem report suggests that the victim consumed poison.

The post mortem report does not depict that the victim suffered any external injury.

The first petitioner is the distant relative of the victim while the second petitioner is the father-in-law of the victim. The allegations as against the petitioners are omnibus and general in nature. The husband was granted bail by the Jurisdictional Court.

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

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Md. Shabbar Rashidi, J.)
