IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.53025 of 2008 RANJU DEVI & ORS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 18.04.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioners and counsel for the State. The petitioners Ranju Devi, Mohan Lal Patwa and Urmila Devi have been happily evading their arrest from year, 2005. When an anticipatory bail petition was filed by them in the court below after three years of their evading arrest and the Court wanted to look into Case Diary, counsel for the petitioners in the Court below had insisted that the matter should be disposed of without Case Diary. Counsel for the petitioners before this court have tried to get support from the postmortem report which would go to show that the Doctor conducting postmortem was not sure of the cause of death and reserved his opinion awaiting the report of Forensic Science Laboratory. This would by itself go to show that the allegation poisoning of the deceased by the petitioners has not yet been ruled out. That being so, this Court would not find it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail 2 petition is dismissed. It goes without saying that in the event the petitioner would surrender before the Court below, this order will not come in their way for consideration and grant of their Regular Bail which would be decided on its own merits.
