¶11

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioner no.1 is the sister-in-law and the petitioner no.2 is the brother-in-law of the victim lady. The allegations levelled against them are unfounded and they have been falsely implicated. The principal accused namely Sk. Sadi Sk., who is another brother-in-law of the victim lady, had already been enlarged on bail. Upon completion of investigation chargesheet has also been filed and as such, custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not necessary.

¶12

Mr. Agarwala, learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the petitioners’ prayer and draws our attention to the medical reports and other documents in the case diary.

¶13

Having heard the learned advocates and considering the materials in the case diary, injury report and the

¶15

extent of complicity of the petitioners in the alleged offence, we are of the opinion that custodial interrogation of the petitioners is not warranted in the facts and circumstances of the instant case. Accordingly prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed.

¶16

and Mithun Sk. @ Majrul Sk., shall be released on anticipatory bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/each with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973.

¶18

Accordingly, the application being C.R.M. No.10948 of 2020 is disposed of.
