Learned counsel submits that there was some dispute within the family, more specifically between husband and wife and the petitioner was falsely roped in. He was granted interim bail on 29.04.2026 and the main accused has been granted anticipatory bail, in the meantime. 5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor, Mr. Goswami submits that in the meantime, investigation also stands completed resulting in a charge sheet. However, the Prosecution is not in a position to say at this stage as to whether the present petitioner has been sent up for trial. The Prosecution further submits that perhaps the scanned TCR may be called for and perused. 6. However, I deem it proper to dispose of the matter. 7. Accordingly, in the aforesaid facts and circumstances, the interim bail passed earlier on 29.04.2026 is hereby made absolute subject to the condition that the petitioner:- (a) shall be available for trial, if one commences against him; (b) shall not hamper or tamper with the evidence of the case. 8. Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application stands allowed and disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
