IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.22359 of 2009 1. NARESH PRASAD 2. MINA DEVI 3. BANTI KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 20.07.2009 Heard both sides. The petitioners are in-laws of the deceased. They seek bail in a case instituted under Sections 328, 304(B) and 34 of Indian Penal Code and Sections ¾ of D.P. Act. The victim died in the matrimonial home within five years of the marriage. Looking to the F.I.R., it appears that there is allegation of demand of dowry and torture. Counsel submits that her death was natural. From the medical report/post mortem report, it appears that she was administered poison in the matrimonial home. Petitioners surrendered on 14.5.2009. In the facts and circumstances of the case, this court is not inclined to admit them to bail. Their prayer for bail stands rejected. They are, however, granted liberty to apply afresh for bail if the trial is not taken up within eight months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
