The prosecution case, in short, is that one Suhana Biwi on 14.05.2025 at about 1 A.M. reported in writing before the IIC, Dharmasala PS alleging therein that her daughter named Arju Nesa had got married to the present Petitioner as per the Muslims Rites and Customs on 23.08.2019 and her daughter was leading a happy conjugal life. But, since last four years of her marriage, her daughter was not able to give birth to any child, her in-law’s members tortured her daughter frequently. On 13.05.2025, she received information that her daughter had died and other general allegations are also there. Hence, this case. 5. Considering the submission and keeping in view the nature of accusation as to the role of this Petitioner as also the manner of commission of offences as those emanate from the materials on record; I do not find it to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the Petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the ABLAPL is dismissed. ( Dr. Sanjeeb K Panigrahi) Judge Murmu
