IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19663 of 2010 HARI LAL GOUR Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ------ 3/ 02.08.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner is 72 years old, father-in-law. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that three of the daughters- in-law and one villager having similar allegations have been allowed bail by a Bench of this Court. Specifically, it is submitted that deceased had developed illicit relation with Kedar Patel, own brother-in-law of the informant. If that can help the petitioner, finds no hope as no such plea was taken in the Court below rather it was submitted that this petitioner was separate from the husband and deceased. It is not the bar to choose the defence of its own rather defence should be reality otherwise petitioner is specifically alleged for his participation in the incident. If any favours due to his being 72 years old, can be taken that regular side. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, prayer of the petitioner is rejected. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
