METHANI DEVI @ MEGHANI DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 09.04.2009 Heard counsel for the parties. The petitioners have approached this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in a case instituted under diverse sections including section 302 and 201 of the Penal Code. As per the FIR, petitioner no.1 administered poison to the son of the informant. Counsel for the parties, after going through the case diary, agreed that a different case has been projected in course of investigation. It is an admitted position that the police, on conclusion of the investigation, submitted charge-sheet not under section 302/201 but under section 498A IPC. Counsel for the petitioner submits that other co- accuseds Ganesh Mandal and Budhu Mandal, who are other male members of the family, have since been granted anticipatory bail by the court below. Considering the fact that no allegation, as spelt out in the FIR, has been supported during investigation even by the informant and/or her five-year-old daughter, this Court is persuaded to grant the petitioners the privilege of bail. - 2 - In the event of arrest/surrender of the petitioners abovenamed, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of CJM Banka in Katoria P.S.Case No.94 of 2006, subject to the conditions as laid down under section 438 (2) Cr.P.C. hr ( Kishore K.
