IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3008 of 2008 DEVANTI DEVI & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5 16.05.2008 The two F.I.R. named accused of Agiaon Bazar P.S. Case No. 14 of 2007 registered under sections 302, 201, 498A/34 I.P.C., who happen to be the mother – in – law and father – in – law of the deceased Kanchan Devi respectively are apprehensive of their arrest in connection therewith and have prayed for anticipatory bail. The submission on behalf of the petitioners is that they are innocent and have been falsely implicated in this case only because they happen to be the parents – in – law of the deceased. It was also submitted that Kanchan being ill died a natural death while being removed to hospital and the information of her death was conveyed to the informant who participated in her cremation. Reliance has been placed on the statement of the aunt and cousin of the deceased who have stated that Kanchan died of sudden illness on way to a doctor. It was also submitted that two of the co-accused Raju Singh and Nanhaku Singh @ Ran Vijay Singh had been granted anticipatory bail by this Court vide order dated 17.9.2007 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 41047 of 2007, a copy whereof is Annexure 2 to the petition. A perusal of Annexure 2 shows clearly that the two - 2 - petitioners thereof had been granted bail by virtue of their being uncles – in – law who were separate in mess from the deceased’s husband. That is not the case with these petitioners. That apart there are sufficient materials in the case diary to show the involvement of the petitioners. To my mind this is not a fit case for anticipatory bail. The prayer therefor is accordingly rejected. Sanjay/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
