This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Two applications for anticipatory bail are taken up for analogous hearing as they emanate out of the same police case.
2. The victim apparently committed suicide at her matrimonial home.
3. FIR was lodged by the husband of the deceased against the paternal relatives of the victim.
4. There is a statement of a neighbor claiming that, petitioner in CRM (A) 3389 of 2026 threw a brick at the victim.
5. Post-mortem report does not disclose any external injury.
6. Court is informed that, there is a dying declaration by the victim. However such dying declaration is not produced with the case diary.
7. As to whether the petitioners in both the applications were involved in abetting the commission of the suicide by the victim or not may be decided at the trial.
8. Both the petitioners are ladies.
9. In such circumstances, I grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners in both the applications.
10. Accordingly, I direct that in the event of arrest, the petitioners in both the applications shall be released on bail upon furnishing a 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 subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 and on condition that the petitioners in both the applications will cooperate with the investigation till the conclusion of the investigation and on condition that the petitioners in both the applications shall appear on every date before the jurisdictional Court on and from the date fixed for appearance of the accused and in default the jurisdictional Court will pass appropriate order to secure the presence of the petitioners in both the applications in Court including cancelling the anticipatory bail granted without further reference to this Court.
11. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners in both the applications is allowed.
12. C.R.M. (A) 3389 of 2026 and C.R.M. (A) 3417 of 2026 are disposed of.
