And In Re: Durga @ Nalita Gorai & Anr.

... ... Petitioners Mr. Samiran Mandal .. Advocate Mr. Abhinaba Dan .. Advocate Mr. Supratik Jana .. Advocate ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee .. Ld. Public Prosecutor Mr. Parthapratim Das .. Advocate Mrs. Manasi Roy .. Advocate ... ... for the State Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioners i.e. in-laws of the victim-housewife in torturing her for further demands of dowry resulting in her unnatural death within three years of marriage, we are of the opinion that in view of the gravity of the offence this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to them.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners stands rejected.
