                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

                   petitioners are persons with clean antecedent and have been

                   falsely implicated in the instant case being brother-in-laws of

                   the deceased. It is next submitted that informant alleges that his

                                            2/4




          of the demand, the victim was tortured, further on 05.06.2025,

          he came to know that the victim was killed, accordingly he

          asked his other sister to verify about the occurrence, as the

          informant was out of station in connection with earning,

          accordingly, his sister went to the place of occurrence and found

          the dead body of the victim lying.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

          petitioners being brother-in-laws have been falsely implicated in

          the instant case by the informant. It is next submitted that

          allegation hinges around suspicion. It is also submitted that

          sister of the informant was married to Santosh in the year 2020

          and in between 2020 till filing of the instant FIR, no case ever

          fulfillment of dowry demand. It is further submitted that

          whenever any dispute arises in between the husband and the

          wife and the occurrence of the nature as alleged takes place, the

          entire family members are implicated in a mechanical manner

          even allegation of demand of dowry is general and omnibus in

          nature. It is submitted that had the petitioners been involved in

          the occurrence, in that event, efforts would have been made to

          dispose of the dead body with a view to conceal the evidence

          but then the dead body was found lying in the house and the

          same was sent for postmortem for ascertaining the cause of

          death and the doctor opined that the cause of death as asphyxia

          due to hanging. It is also submitted that if privilege of

          anticipatory bail is granted, the petitioners will not not abscond

          rather will cooperate in the investigation to prove their

          innocence. It is also submitted that father-in-law of the

          seeking anticipatory bail by filing Cr. Misc. No.20617 of 2026

          and the same came to be allowed by an order dated 19.06.2026.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioners.

                       6. Considering the submissions made by the learned
