... ... Petitioners Mr. Bikaram Banerjee Mr. Sudipta Dasgupta Mr. Sutirtha Nayek Ms. Adrita Dey ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Suman De Mr. Mainak Gupta ... ... for the State 1.

Heard learned Advocates for both the parties. 2.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioners are the in-laws of the victim-housewife. Husband has been granted regular bail. Allegation of rape is not levelled against the petitioners. Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not necessary and they may be granted anticipatory bail. 3.

Accordingly, we direct in the event of arrest, the petitioners may 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on further condition that the petitioners shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date.
