Mahaludan Begum, wife of Modul Mian All residents of village Narharpur, P.S.-Marhowraha, District-Saran----------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------Petitioners. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 4.5.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners have been alleged for killing the deceased for demand of dowry. They are mother-in-law and gotni of the deceased. In such a case, submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the victim was suffering from the ailment of her stomachache. At the relevant time she was at her parent’s house, from where she was taken to the hospital and in course of treatment she succumbed to her ailment. But at the same time there is specific allegation regarding causing of assault and forcing the deceased to have taken shelter at her parent’s house from where the deceased was taken by her father and admitted to the hospital. In course of treatment she died. So, every ingredient is there regarding demand, torture for its non-fulfilment, marriage within seven years, torture soon before the death, leaving in in-law’s house while she was ousted by them after beating. So, I find it not a fit case for anticipatory bail. Prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. Sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J )
