In Re: Nirupama Mandal Ors.

… … Petitioners

Mr. Abdur Rakib .. Advocate
… … for the petitioners

Mr. Tanmoy Kumar Ghosh .. Advocate
Mr. Saryati Datta .. Advocate
… … for the State

Heard the learned advocate appearing for both the parties.

Petitioner nos.1, 2 3 are the sisters-in-law and the petitioner no.4 is the

brother-in-law of the victim-housewife. It is submitted that they resided separately from the

matrimonial house of the victim. It is further submitted that the other accused persons

have been enlarged on anticipatory bail.

Learned advocate for the State produces the case diary and opposes the prayer

for anticipatory bail.

Having considered the materials in the case diary and bearing in mind the extent

of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged crime and the fact that the accused persons

similarly circumstanced with the petitioners have been granted anticipatory bail, we are

inclined in granting the same relief to the accused/petitioners also.
2

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest, the accused/petitioners,

namely (1) Nirupama Mandal, (2) Uma Mandal, (3) Putul Mandal (4) Shyamal

Mandal, be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand

only) each, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer

and also subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of

Criminal Procedure, 1973.

The application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.
