Mr. A. S. Chakraborty
Mrs. Sutapa Banerjee

..for the State

The petitioners seek anticipatory bail in connection

with Dhantala Police Station Case No. 81/2017, dated

13.3.2017 registered for investigation into offences

punishable under Sections 498A/325/307/34 of the

Indian Penal Code, 1960.

The petitioners are the mother-in-law and sister-in-

law of the victim. The husband of the victim was taken

into custody but has been enlarged on bail by the Court

below.

The State produces the case diary and refers to the

Statements of some of the neighbours. Considering the

material and the general nature of allegations, there does

not appear to be any need to take the petitioners into

custody.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioners will

be granted bail upon furnishing security of Rs.10,000/-

(Rupees ten thousand only) each, with two sureties of

Rs.5,000/- (Rupees five thousand only) each, one of

whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Arresting

Officer, subject to the conditions as laid down in Section

438 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. In

addition, the petitioners will also report to the

Investigating Officer at such time and place as may be

specified by the concerned police officer.

The petition for anticipatory bail is allowed subject to

the conditions as indicated above.

A certified copy of this order be immediately made

available to the petitioners subject to compliance with all

requisite formalities.
