MADHIPURA. --- PETITIONER Versus STATE OF BIHAR -- OPP. PARTY. ----------- For the petitioner: Mr. R Kamal Kishore Singh, Advocate. For the State: Mr. C.Jawahar, APP. 02. 30.04.2009 Heard both sides. The sole petitioner, who is father-in-law of the deceased, has approached this court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections 304(B) and 201/34 of the Penal Code. The brother of the victim lodged an F.I.R., alleging therein that his sister was done to death in a suspicious circumstance in the matrimonial home within seven years of marriage. The occurrence was preceded by demand of dowry and torture. The F.I.R. also indicates that the dead body was disposed of in a hurried manner. When he reached the matrimonial home is ‘bhagina’ (son of the deceased) informed that the accused persons named in the F.I.R. had killed his mother. Learned counsel of the petitioner submits that the witnesses have filed affidavit in the court stating that there has been false implication of the present petitioner. On the strength of annexure-2, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the 2 petitioner was residing separately. Having considered the submissions and after going through the record, this court is not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the application seeking anticipatory bail stands rejected. However, the petitioner may surrender and apply for regular bail in the court below which shall be considered on its own merit having regard to the pleadings and documents made/filed in support thereof, uninfluenced by the present order passed by this court in the present proceeding.
