IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3866 of 2010 Urmila Devi, wife of Late Jay Ram Singh, resident of Village-Kinjar, Police Station-Kinjar, District-Arwal. ………Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar ………………………….Opposite Party. ----------- 2. 08. 04. 2010. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends her arrest in connection with Kinjar Police Station Case No. 35 of 2009 dated 14. 10. 2009, registered under Sections 498 A and 304 B of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted by Mr. Durga Nand Jha, learned counsel for the petitioner that, though petitioner is mother-in-law of the deceased, but she had made all effort for saving the life of the deceased, when she had caught accidental fire. The petitioner is an old lady aged about 62 years. Learned counsel for the State has strongly opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and has pointed out that there is very serious allegation against this petitioner that she along with other accused persons poured kerosene oil on the body of the victim and lit fire, as a result of which deceased sustained eighty percent burn injury and finally she died. In the aforesaid background and in view of serious nature of allegation as also in view of relationship of the petitioner, being the mother-in-law of the deceased, her prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. She must surrender within a period of 2 four weeks from today in the court below and if so advised, seek regular bail. If such a prayer is made, then the same may be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. m.p. ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
