In the matter of :

Apprehending arrest in course of investigation of Kankartala

P.S. F.I.R. No. 19/2014 dated 16.03.2014 under Sections

498A/306/34 of the Indian Penal Code, read with Sections 3/4 of

the Dowry Prohibition Act, the petitioners (sisters-in-law and

mother-in-law of the victim) have applied for anticipatory bail.

It is submitted by Mr. Ganguly, learned advocate appearing

for the petitioners that upon completion of investigation, police

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

(charge-sheet) has already been submitted before the relevant

magistrate.

We have heard learned advocates for the parties and perused

the materials in the case diary. In view of the fact that charge-
2

sheet has been submitted and on consideration of the extent of the

petitioners’ complicity, as revealed from the case diary, we are of

the considered opinion that personal liberty of the petitioners may

not be curtailed at this stage and that they are entitled to

direction, as prayed for.

Accordingly, C.R.M. 5514 of 2017 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/- (Rupees Five

Thousand), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom

must be local, to the satisfaction of the Court below.
