IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36061 of 2009 MIRA DEVI @ MEERA DEVI W/O RAMDEO RAJAK VILL.- AMDHA, P.S.- RAJOUN, DISTT.- BANKA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 30.10.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. The test case of the wife, who is also an accused alongwith her husband for the murder of the husband of the informant, gets exposed from the fact that whatever has been stated by the informant on the point of assault in the F.I.R. has been totally substantiated and corroborated from the objective finding of the doctor in the postmortem report. The doctor has found not only injury on the head, jaw and neck of the deceased but also metacarpal bone of his right hand, used for his own defence has been found to be fractured. There is also internal injury in the spinal cord. All of such injuries are suggestive of the fact that the manner of occurrence as alleged by the informant is prima-facie correct specially when the doctor has finally opined that the above injuries and compression to the spinal cord were the cause of the death 2 of the deceased. This Court would therefore not find the petitioner to be entitled for bail only because she is a lady. In this case the petitioner though a lady appears to be equally responsible as that of her husband for the murder of the husband of the informant as is fully born out from her allegations in the F.I.R. which stand duly corroborated from the postmortem report. That being so, the petitioner being in the category of the main assailant is not entitled to be released on bail. Her prayer for bail, therefore, is rejected. The trial of the petitioner however may be expedited. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
