IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3429 of 2008 RAMAKANT SINGH & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 14.05.2008 The three petitioners who happen to be the father – in – law, the mother – in – law and the brother – in – law (devar) of deceased Ginni Devi, are apprehensive of their arrest in connection with Hasanpur P.S. Case No. 58 of 2007 registered under sections 304B, 201 and 120B/34 I.P.C. and have prayed for anticipatory bail. The three petitioners are specifically named and alleged to have tortured the deceased over non fulfillment of demand for additional dowry and of their torturing her during her advanced stage of pregnancy and eventually causing her death by administering poison. Petitioner no. 3 is also alleged to have made threatening phone calls in support of the demand. It appears that finding the case to be true, the chargesheet has also been submitted. Considering the nature of allegations and the fact that chargesheet has already been submitted, I am not inclined to extend the benefits of section 438 Cr.P.C. to the petitioners. Their prayer for anticipatory bail is accordingly rejected. Sanjay/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
