IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16428 of 2009 JAGAN RAM & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 18.08.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the State. Petitioners are father-in-law and mother-in-law who are in custody since 20th March, 2009 for an offence under sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code which was instituted in Minapur P S Case No. 217 of 2008. As per the FIR marriage was solemnized 5 years ago. Allegation is that there was a demand of money and a she- buffalo which was not met. Informant later came to know that his sister has suffered extensive burn injury and is being treated at S K M C H, Muzaffarpur. During the course of treatment she died without making any statement. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioners is that the case was instituted on mistaken facts because subsequently informant himself has filed an affidavit in this regard in the court below, which is evident from annexure-2. It is also contended that it was a case of suspicious nature; otherwise petitioner would not have carried the victim to the hospital for treatment. Be that as it may, looking at the allegations and the period petitioners spent in custody, let the petitioners Jagan Ram and Reshmi Devi alias Rashmi Devi be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur, in Minapur - 2 - P S Case No.217 of 2008 with a direction that petitioners will cooperate in the trial and will not abscond from law. rkp (Ajaya Kumar Tripathi, J)
