According to the case of the prosecution, the marriage between the first accused and deceased was celebrated in the year 2006. The first petitioner is the mother of the husband of the sister-in-law of the deceased and the second petitioner is the brother of the husband of the sister-in-law of the deceased. It is alleged that all these petitioners harassed the deceased by demanding dowry along with the first accused. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioners would deny the above allegations. It is a case of suicide by setting fire to herself. He would submit that these petitioners are distant relatives and they are nothing to do with the marital life of the deceased. The two other accused namely Tamilselvi and Pandian have been granted bail by this Court in Crl.OP.No.8906 of 2011 dated 22.07.2011. 4. I have considered the above submissions. The petitioners are only distant relatives of the deceased. Except making a bald allegation, there is no other specific overt act against the petitioners. The two other accused have already been granted bail. Investigation has made https://hcservices.ecourts.gov.in/hcservices/ substantial progress. Having regard to the above facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. 5. Accordingly, the petitioners are ordered to be released on bail, in the event of arrest or on their appearance before the learned Judicial Magistrate, Usilampatti, Madurai, on each executing a bond for a sum of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) with two sureties each for a like sum to the satisfaction of the respondent police or the police officer who intends to arrest or to the satisfaction of the learned Magistrate concerned and on further condition that the first petitioner shall report before the respondent police, as and when required and the second petitioner shall report before the respondent police every day at 10.30 a.m. until further orders.
