Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was the member of an unlawful assembly and in prosecution of the common object of the assembly and in criminal conspiracy with the co-accused persons, has committed murder of Badal Gorai- the father-in-law of the informant. It is then submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and those allegations are general and omnibus in nature and the main allegation is against Madan Gorai, Sunil Gorai, Sadhan Gorai. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is a lady and she has no criminal antecedent, as mentioned in paragraph 13 of the anticipatory bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner is ready to co-operate with the investigation of the case and also undertakes to furnish sufficient security including cash security and the co- accused with similar allegations have already been granted privilege of anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this
court vide order dated 11.01.2024 passed in ABA no. 9971 of
2023. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that the dispute between the parties is at best a civil dispute and they undertake not to annoy or disturb the informant, the victim or his family members in any manner during pendency of the case hence, the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.

Considering aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Hence, in the event of arrest by the police or surrender within a period of six weeks from the date of this order, the petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.
25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned JM, Jamtara in connection with Bindapathar P.S.
