He also submits that so far this petitioner is concerned, false allegations are made that the petitioner was involved in ousting the informant from the house. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that the petitioner has forced the girl to leave the house. 5. Considering that the petitioner is said to be the mother-in-law and the marriage has already been solemnized and prima facie it appears that Xavier Hembrom, who is husband of the informant, has not taken care of and on his instigation, the abortion was made, in the attending facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the above-named petitioner is directed to surrender before the learned court within three weeks from today and in the event of 2026:JHHC:24362 her arrest or surrender, she shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Sahibganj, in connection with Mirzachouki P.S.
