Vijayipur, District Gopalganj. ---------- Petitioners Versus The State Of Bihar -------- Opposite Party ----------- 02/- 29.09.2011 Heard Mr. Nityanand Mishra learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. Bihari Singh learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. All the eight petitioners apprehending their arrest in connection with a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 304(B), 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code, are named accused in this case of unnatural death of the daughter of the informant within five years of her marriage. Submission is that the parents-in-law of the deceased have already been released from custody on bail in pursuance of composite order dated 04.08.2011 passed in Cr. Misc. Nos. 7137/2011 & 8110/2011. The husband, who faced the trial has already been acquitted in Sessions Trial No. 683 of 2011 by IInd Additional Sessions Judge, Gopalganj and there is absolutely no material against the petitioners. Learned Additional Public Prosecutor objects the prayer, mainly, on the ground of delay caused and abstention of the petitioners during investigation in spite of being named and knowing 2 their requirements in this case since beginning. Considering the facts and circumstances, the petitioners appears not entitled for the privilege sought. Hence, prayer for anticipatory bail of the above named petitioners in connection with Vijayipur P.S. Case No. 58 of 2010 (G.R. No. 2140 of 2010) pending in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gopalganj, is hereby rejected. However as prayed, in the event of their surrender before the court below, within four weeks, their prayer for regular bail may be considered on its own merit including the points set forth above, without being prejudice of instant refusal.
