The petitioners seek anticipatory bail in connection with Bhaktinagar
P.S. Case No.1059 of 2017 dated 19/11/2017 under Sections 498A/313 of
the Indian Penal Code.
The petitioners make out that the husband of the complainant
committed suicide as he was suffering from depression upon being diagnosed
HIV positive. The petitioners say that unnecessary charges have been brought
against them.
It is submitted on behalf of the State that the victim’s death occurred
later in the evening of the day when he had gone for a daytime meal to the
house of the fourth petitioner.
Considering the circumstances and the material against the
petitioners, there may not be any need to take them into custody as long as
they cooperate with the investigation.
Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners are directed to be
released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten
Thousand only) each, with two sureties of Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand
Only) each to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer, subject to the conditions
laid down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. In
addition, the petitioners will report to the Investigating Officer at such time
and place as may be specified by the concerned police officer, till the
investigation is completed.
The petition for anticipatory bail is allowed on the conditions
indicated above.
A certified copy of this order be immediately made available to the
2
petitioners, subject to compliance with all requisite formalities.
