AB 949/2011 BEFORE HON\BLE MR JUSTICE B D AGARWAL Heard Mr. HRA Choudhury, learned senior counsel for the petitioners. Also heard Mr. BS Sinha, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. This application under section 438 of the Cr.P.C. has been filed by accused peti tioners namely, Nasir Uddin, Md. Afsar Ali, Md. Amir Hussain @ Amir Uddin, Naimu ddin and Miss Ayesa Bewa seeking pre-arrest bail apprehending their arrest in co nnection with Bijni Police Station Case No. 65 of 2011 under sections 304(B) o f the Indian Penal Code. Also perused the case diary. The prosecution case is that the informant’s daughter died due to unnatural deat h within seven months of her marriage in her husband’s house. The petitioners are the husband and his brother, cousin, maternal uncle and moth er. The witnesses so far examined by the I.O. have stated that the husband did not h ave cordial relation with his wife and there also used to be marpit in between t hem. The above apart, from the post -mortem report also, it is difficult to take a de finite view whether it is a case of homicide or suicide. Be that as it may, the witnesses have directly implicated the husband for the un natural death of his wife. Hence, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petiti oner No. 1 namely, Nasir Uddin is rejected. The accused is directed to surrender before the I.O. immediately. However, the witnesses have not implicated the remaining petitioners directly in the aforesaid offence. Hence, the I.O. is directed to release the accused petit ioner Nos. 2, Md. Afsar Ali , petitioner No. 3, Md. Amir Hussain @ Amir Uddin, p etitioner No. 4 Naimuddin and petitioner No. 5, Miss. Ayesa Bewa above on furni shing a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- each with one local surety of like amount to t he satisfaction of the arresting authority. The petitioners are further directed to appear before the I.O. within a week fro m today and they shall co-operate in the investigation of the case. This anticipatory bail application stands disposed of.
