IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.35755 of 2010 GAYA PRASAD GUPTA @ GAYA GUPTA & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 25.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners as well as learned counsel for the state assisted by learned counsel for the informant. Admittedly, petitioner No. 1 is father-in-law whereas petitioner No. 2 is mother-in-law of the deceased. It appears from the F.I.R. that deceased died within 7 years of her marriage on account of burn injuries. Allegedly, petitioners and other accused persons committed her murder for dowry. At the very outset, learned counsel for petitioners points out that petitioners are old and sick persons and having similar allegation, co-accused, Rupa Devi and one, Reena Kumari have already been granted privilege of anticipatory bail by this court. In the aforesaid circumstance, I do not feel it proper to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to petitioner No. 1 , namely, Gaya Prasad Gupta @ Gaya Gupta who is senior member of the family. So far as petitioner No. 2 is concerned, her case stands on similar footing to that of above-noted Rupa Devi and Reena Kumari. In the aforesaid circumstances, prayer for 2 anticipatory bail on behalf of petitioner No. 1, namely, Gaya Prasad Gupta @ Gaya Gupta stands rejected. So far as petitioner No. 2, namely, Budhiya Devi is concerned, it is ordered that above said Budhiya Devi, in the event of arrest or surrender within 30 days from the date of receipt of the order in the court below shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each in connection with Supaul P.S. Case No. 251 of 2009 registered u/Ss 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code to the satisfaction of Sri R.K. Choudhary, J.M. Ist Class, Supaul or its successor court subject to conditions as laid down u/S 438(2) of the Cr.P.C. AKV/- ( Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
