Petitioners seek anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the husband was enlarged on bail. The police filed charge-sheet. State is represented.

Considering the fact that the police filed charge-sheet and considering the advance age of the petitioners, we grant anticipatory 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 also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on further condition that the petitioners shall appear before the jurisdictional court and pray for regular bail within four weeks from date and on further conditions that the petitioners shall appear before the court below on every date fixed for hearing.

Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is allowed.

C.R.M. (A) 108 of 2022 is, thus, disposed of. (Debangsu Basak, J.) (Bibhas Ranjan De, J.)
