And

In Re : Anil Bagdi Ors. …… petitioners

Mr. Ranjan Chakrabarti
…..for the petitioners

Mr. Arijit Ganguly,
Mr. Avik Ghatak
….for the State

It is submitted by the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioners

that there was a love affair between the victim lady and her husband

prior to their marriage. Subsequently they married and owing to

grievance against her husband victim committed suicide. Petitioners are

the in-laws of the victim housewife and have been falsely implicated in

the instant case.

Learned Counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for

anticipatory bail.

We have considered the materials on record including the suicide

note of the victim. Grievance of the victim is essentially against her
2

husband. There is no reference to any cruelty upon her over demand of

dowry. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioners in the

instant case and as husband of the victim has been enlarged on regular

bail, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to them.

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 be subject to the conditions as laid down under Section

438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 and on condition that

they shall appear before the court below and pray for regular bail within

a period of four weeks from date.

This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, allowed.
