Apprehending arrest in connection with Uluberia Police

Station F.I.R. No. 688 of 2016 dated 13th November, 2016 under

Sections 498A/326A/307/120B of the Indian Penal Code and

under Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, the petitioners

(parents-in-law and unmarried sister-in-law of the victim) have

applied for anticipatory bail.

We have heard learned advocates for the parties and

perused the materials in the case diary.

The husband who is alleged to be the principal accused is

on bail. We have also granted anticipatory bail to the victim’s

married sister-in-law and her husband. We are also informed

that upon completion of investigation police report (charge-sheet)
2

under Section 173(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure

(hereafter the ‘Cr.P.C.’) has been filed before the magistrate.

On consideration thereof, we are of the view that personal

liberty of the petitioners need not be curtailed at this stage and

they are entitled to direction, as prayed for in this application.

The application, thus, stands allowed with the direction

that in the event of arrest, the petitioners shall be released on

bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.5,000/- each, with two sureties

of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the

satisfaction of the Court below.
