PINKI DEVI @ PINKU DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 27/10/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The petitioners are the mother-in-law and the wives of the brothers of the husband of the deceased apprehending arrest in a police case under Section- 304B of I.P.C. The submission on behalf of the petitioners 2 and 3 is that the allegations against them are generalized because of their relationship by marriage to the family of the husband of the deceased. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, let the petitioners-2 and 3 above named surrender before the court below within four weeks when they shall be enlarged on anticipatory bail upon furnishing the bail-bonds of Rs.20,000/- (twenty thousand) each along with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in connection with Muffasil (Singhaul) P.S. Case No.180 of 2008, subject to the conditions laid down under Section-438(2) Cr.P.C. 2 The husband of petitioner No.3 i.e. the son of petitioner No.1 has been granted regular bail. No special features have been urged to accord any different treatment to her except for her allegedly advanced age. This Court is not persuaded to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to her. The application is rejected with regard to her. The age factor may be a matter to be more appropriately considered in an application for regular bail including grant of regular bail to a co-accused, without being prejudiced by the present order.
