IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37498 of 2007 MANJULA DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 8 8.5.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends arrest in a case under Section 304 and other Sections of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioner is mother-in-law of the deceased. The allegation is that the victim was done to death due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry and her dead body was packed in a bag and thrown on the bank of river which was ultimately recovered and identified by the informant and others. Thus, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and well as nature of accusation, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the same is hereby rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the court below and pray for regular bail. In that event the court below shall consider her prayer on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. B.Jha (Ghanshyam Prasad)
