#2. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Apprehending their arrest, the applicants have moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Dhanbad Mahila P.S. Case No.42 of 2022, for the offence under Sections 498A/ 379/ 504/ 506/34 of IPC and Sections 3/4 of the D.P. Act.

#3. Innocence have been claimed and undertaking have been given for co- operation with the investigating agency and participation in the trial. It has been submitted that the applicants are in-laws of the victim. It has been further submitted that the husband has already been granted bail.

Accordingly, the above named applicants are directed to surrender in the Court below within four weeks from the date of receipt/production of this order and in the event of their arrest or surrender, the Court below shall enlarge the above named applicants, on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.1st Class, Dhanbad in connection with Dhanbad Mahila P.S.
