IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14074 of 2009 1. SHIV RATIA DEVI 2. MALTI DEVI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 24.4.2009 Heard Counsel for the petitioners and Counsel for the State. An allegation under Section 304B I.P.C., after eighteen years of the marriage against the widow mother-in-law and cousin Gotani, the two petitioners, would hardly inspire confidence for their involvement in the case. Their case in any event is distinguishable from the husband and therefore this Court would direct release of the petitioners, namely, Shiv Ratia Devi and Malti Devi on bail in the event of their surrender before the court below within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of S.D.J.M., Masaurhi, Patna in Pipra P.S.case No.12/2008 subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
