...for the Petitioners.

Mr. Niloy Chakraborty, Mr. S. S. Sikdar.

.....for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the parties. Petitioners undertake to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within a month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court.

Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference.

Accordingly, the application, being CRAN 1 of 2020 is disposed of.

Having considered the materials on record and keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners who are the sisters-in-law of the victim housewife, we are inclined to grant pre-arrest 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Aniruddha Roy,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
