All of Village – Rani Parti Tola Theeka, P.S.- Rosera, District – Samastipur. ........... Petitioners Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR. ............. Opposite Party ----------- 03 26.03.2011 Both the aforesaid anticipatory bail petitions arise out of the same case, and as such, both were heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The petitioners, in both the cases, are apprehending their arrest in connection with Rosera P.S. Case No. 151 of 2007, registered for the offence under Sections 498A, 364, 120(B) & 34 of the Indian Penal Code. F.I.R. was lodged in the year 2007, and all the petitioners are F.I.R. named accused. It was alleged by the complainant/informant, that he apprehends, that his daughter was killed by the accused persons due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry. 2 It was admitted by learned counsel for the petitioner, that till date, neither the dead body of the daughter of informant has been recovered nor any trace has been made. In view of the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail. Prayer for anticipatory bail stands rejected. It is made clear, that if the petitioners surrender before the court below and make a prayer for grant of regular bail, the learned court below, without being prejudiced by the rejection of this anticipatory bail, will examine the case on merit and pass appropriate order, in accordance with law.
