IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30640 of 2010 RADHIKA DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 8.9.2010 KHAN Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner in a case under section 304B of the Penal Code was earlier rejected by this court by order dated 26.2.2010 passed in Cr.Misc.No.44887 of 2009 with an observation to surrender and pray for regular bail. The informant alleged that her daughter was burnt to death due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry. The petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased Poonam Devi. The petitioner submits that the witnesses stated that the deceased Poonam Devi sustained accidental burn injury. She was first taken to Barbigha hospital and then taken to Apollo Burn Hospital, Patna for treatment by her in-laws. The police in course of verification found the aforesaid facts to be correct. He further submits that the petitioner is a patient of heart disease and is being treated by the Doctor of Cardiologist. I do not find any reason to interfere with my earlier order. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is accordingly rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders and pray for bail, the same would be disposed of on its own merits without prejudice on the same day. (S.P.Singh,J) 2
