Case No.237 of 2020 dated 22.06.2020 under Sections 498(A)/302/34 of the Indian Penal Code and read with Sections 3/4 of the D.P. Act. And In the matter of: Janaki Mahanta & Ors.

....Petitioners.

Mr. Sudip Guha ...for the Petitioners.

Mr. Nilay Chakraborty, Mr. Sagnik Sankar Sikdar ...for the State.

Liberty is granted to the learned advocate-on-record to correct the cause title of the petition and amend the same in course of the day.

Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioners in subjecting the housewife to torture who suffered unnatural death within four years of marriage, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this court. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
