IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24479 of 2008 RAMAWATI DEVI ….. PETITIONER Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR …... OPP. PARTY For the petitioner : - Sri Ashutosh Jha, Advocate For the O.P. : - Sri D. Mehta, APP ----------- 3/ 10.11.2008 Heard Sri Ashutosh Jha for the petitioner Ramawati Devi, who is in custody in case under Section 302 of the IPC. Initially a dead body was found in an abandoned Balero vehicle and that was kept in a gunny bag. The identity of the dead body could not be established. Subsequently, it was found to be a dead body of one Sarswati Devi, who had developed relationship with the son of the petitioner named Lalan Pandit while both of them were working in a factory. The lady was brought by Lalan Pandit to his house and was residing there for last five years. Some how or the other the man and this petitioner are alleged to have developed a dislike for the lady and wanted to get rid of her. The allegation is that the petitioner along with her son Lalan Pandit strangulated the lady to death. There could not be any doubt about it and the same was confirmed by post mortem report. There is consistency in the material that - 2 - the lady was residing in the house of the present petitioner and her son. The plea is that the petitioner is a lady and suffers from heart problem and in support of contention the learned counsel for the petitioner has annexed medical prescription along with a report of E.C.G. The Court could not be very much assured about the ailments, the petitioner could be suffering from it. Considering that the lady was residing on the day she was strangulated in the house of the petitioner, I am not inclined to direct the release of the petitioner Ramawati Devi on bail. The petition is dismissed. DKS/ (Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
