Petitioner is the husband of the sister of the first accused in the case. The deceased Vijayam was the wife of the first accused and she committed suicide along with her two children on 12.11.2006 by jumping in front of a running train. The first accused who was initially arrested and subsequently released on bail is also said to have committed suicide in the same manner. The allegation against the second accused and the present petitioner who is the 4th accused is that both of them used to molest deceased Vijayam while she was in the matrimonial home. It is too early to conclude that the allegation against the petitioner is false. At any rate, anticipatory bail B.A.7199/06 Page numbers cannot be granted in a case of this nature. There is no reason why the petitioner should not surrender before the Magistrate concerned and seek regular bail. Accordingly, if the petitioner surrenders before the Magistrate concerned and files an application for regular bail, within two weeks from today, the same shall be considered and disposed of, preferably on the same date on which it is filed. With this direction, this petition is dismissed. V.RAMKUMAR, JUDGE dsn
