And In the matter of: - Rupali Das & Anr.

....petitioners.

Mr. A. Saha ...for the petitioners.

Mr. S. Banerjee, Ms. P. Ghosh ...for the State.

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they are the parentsin-law of the victim housewife and petitioner no.2 was not present at the place of occurrence.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials in the case diary and bearing in mind the prima facie involvement of the petitioners in continuously torturing the victim housewife which compelled her to commit suicide within two years of marriage, we are not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, rejected. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
