2   22-06-2026                  1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case

                   registered for the offence punishable under 85 of the BNS.

                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

                   petitioners are persons with clean antecedent and the informant

                   alleges that she was married to Abhishek Kumar on 11.05.2023

                   and after marriage, the accused persons including the petitioners

                   started demanding dowry of Rs.1 lakh and on account of non-

                   fulfillment of the demand, the informant was tortured and

                   ousted from the house.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that

          petitioners, being the father-in-law and mother-in-law, have

          been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant with

          an intent to coerce Abhishek Kumar into submission. It is

          further submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged

          in the FIR, it would manifest that allegation of demand of dowry

          and torture is general and omnibus in nature. It is next 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

          with general and omnibus allegation. It is also submitted that

          husband of the complainant is also availing his remedy of

          anticipatory bail before the learned District Court.

                       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

          counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners, let the

          petitioners, above-named, in the event of their arrest or

          surrender within a period of six weeks from today, be released

          on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-

          (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like

          amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court where
