IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.17976 of 2010 Indu Devi, wife of Laxman Chauhan, resident of village Beldaria, P.S. Jamui, District- Jamui. ….. Petitioner Versus The State Of Bihar ……. Opp,Party ----------- 3. 12/10/2010 Application for bail of the petitioner was earlier rejected by this Court by order dated 27.10.2009 passed in Cr.Misc.No.21191 of 2009. On account of delay in trial, this application has been filed renewing the prayer for bail. A report was called for from the court below with regard to the stage of the trial. From the report, it appears that six witnesses have been examined and six more witnesses are yet to be examined in the trial. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is daughter-in-law and on impulse, she assaulted her mother-in- law, which resulted in her death. He submits that there was no intention on the part of the petitioner to kill her mother-in-law and it was only on the spur of the moment that this incident happened. He submits that the husband of the petitioner, who is son of the deceased, has not supported the case. He also submits that the petitioner is having a child of one 2 and a half years of age in her lap and she is being forced to be confined in prison along with the child. He submits that the petitioner was taken into custody on 28.2.2009 and since then she is in jail with the child. Considering the delay being caused in the trial and the fact that the petitioner is a lady with a child of one and a half years of age in the jail for almost one year eight months now, this application is allowed. Let petitioner Indu Devi be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge, Fast Track Court-IV, Jamui in Sessions Trial No.277 of 2009 (arising out of Jamui P.S.Case No.16 of 2009) with a condition that she will not leave the jurisdiction of the Police Station and she will regularly attend the court, failing which the court below shall be at liberty to cancel her bail bond and take steps for her arrest.
