He further contended that there exists a matrimonial discord between the informant and her husband, as a result of which, the husband of the informant as well as the entire family members have been implemented in the present case by making false allegation. He further submitted that so far the present Petitioner are concerned, there is no specific allegation against them of committing any torture and no assaulting the informant. It was also contended that the present Petitioners were staying separately from the informant and her husband. In such view of the matter, the learned counsel for the Petitioners contended that the Petitioners be released on bail on any stringent terms and conditions as it be deemed just and proper by this Court. 5. Considering the nature of allegation, gravity of offence and the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the Petitioners. However, it is directed that in the event the Petitioners surrender before the Court in seisin over the matter within a period of four weeks from today and move an application for bail, the Court in seisin over the matter shall release them on bail in connection with the aforesaid case on such terms and conditions as it may deem just and proper in the facts and circumstances of the case. 6.
