IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.8842 of 2010 PREMSHILA DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 21.4.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, State as also learned counsel appearing for the informant. Petitioner apprehends her arrest in connection with M. Nagar P.S. Case no. 53 of 2009 dated 5.5.2009 registered under sections 498( A) and 304 (B)/34 of the Indian penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner happens to be mother-in-law of the deceased and main culprit husband is already in jail. By referring to different documents he submits that the accusation against the petitioner is not believable and, therefore, she is entitled to have the privilege of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel for the State and the informant have strongly opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and they have submitted that there are ample materials available on record to show the complicity of the petitioner in crime in question. In that view of the matter, and in view of nature of allegation and relation of the petitioner with the deceased, she being mother-in-law, her prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. She must surrender in the court below within a period of four - 2 - weeks from today and, if so advised, seek regular bail. If such a petition is filed, then the same may be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. (Birendra Prasad Verma, J) M.Rahman
