Versus STATE OF BIHAR ------------ 3. 11.3.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioner no.1 is mother-in-law of the deceased while petitioner no.2 is cousin mother-in-law are alleged for their also having hand in killing of the deceased for non-fulfilment of demand of dowry. Witnesses are there to state that deceased was being tortured at the hand of her in-laws including husband soon before her death for non-fulfilment of demand of dowry. No doubt petitioner no.2 may not have hand in demand or torture nor she has been alleged for making a demand. Now the defence is about commitment of suicide on the point of some differences with the husband and all the family members went in marriage ceremony at Raxaul appears not plausible or acceptable. Compromise is nothing more than an attempt to tamper with the witnesses. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, prayer for anticipatory bail of petitioner no.1 is rejected and prayer for anticipatory bail of petitioner no.2 is allowed. In the event of arrest or surrender within a period of one month from the date of communication of this order the above named petitioner no.2 shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the - 2 - Chief Judicial Magistrate, East Champaran, Motihari, in connection with Kesariya P.S. case no.12 of 2009 , subject to the conditions as laid down under section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
