...... petitioners Mr. Sumanta Chakraborty ....for the petitioners Mr. Pravas Bhattacharya Mr. Pratick Bose ....for the State The police filed charge-sheet.

The husband was granted bail by the Jurisdictional Court.

The two petitioners before us are married sister-in-laws, who are residing separately.

The allegations as against the petitioners, apparently, are general and omnibus in nature.

In such circumstances, we 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/- 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 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.

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