                                       ORAL ORDER

3   24-06-2026              Heard Mr. D.K. Sinha, learned senior counsel assisted by

                   Mr. Alexander Ashok, for the petitioners and learned APP for

                   the State.

                            2. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in

                   connection with Tilothu P.S. Case No. 22 of 2026 dated

                   28.01.2026 registered for the offence punishable under Sections

                   Prohibition Act.

                            3. The prosecution case, in brief, is that after the

                   marriage, the Informant’s daughter was subjected to cruelty by

                   her husband and in-laws on account of dowry demands,

          including a car. It is further alleged that on 12.01.2026, Vivek

          Kumar (husband of the deceased) informed the Informant that

          Savita Kumari (deceased) had committed suicide by hanging.

                  4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the

          petitioners are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the

          present case. Petitioner no.1 is the mother-in-law, petitioner no.2

          is the father-in-law and petitioner no.3 is the elder brother of the

          husband of the deceased. It is submitted that it is apparent that

          the petitioners were residing separately and were separate in

          mess and they have no connection with their day-to-day

          activities. It has next been submitted that the husband of the

          deceased himself had informed the Informant with regard to

          suicide committed by his daughter and, thereafter, the instant

          case is said to have been registered..

                  5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State has

          opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioners.

                  6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

          considering the fact that the allegations made against the

          petitioners are general and omnibus in nature, let the above

          named petitioners, be released on bail, in the event of their

          arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a

          period of six weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.

                                (i)   One      of    the    bailors     should   be   the   family

                        official document / personal affidavit to show his/her bona fide;

                                (ii) the petitioner(s) shall appear on each and every date

                        before the Trial Court and failure to do so for two consecutive

                        bail bond by the Trial Court itself;

                                (iii) the petitioner(s) shall in no way try to induce or

                        promise or threat the witnesses or tamper with the evidences,

                        cancellation of the bail bonds.
