IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3514 of 2009 Gouri Devi, wife of Sri Yadu Nandan Prasad, resident of village Raja Kuan, P.S. Biharsharif, District-Nalanda Versus State Of Bihar ----------- For the petitioner: - Mr. Pramod Kumar, Advocate. ------------- 2. 04.02.2009 The petitioner had earlier approached this Court for grant of anticipatory bail by filing Cr. Misc. No. 9104/2006, but a prayer for withdrawal was made on the ground that the police had submitted final form in the case treating the same as mistake of fact and accordingly liberty was sought to pray for anticipatory bail if occasion so arises in future. By order dated 12.5.2008 this Court dismissed the anticipatory bail application as withdrawn after granting the said prayer of the petitioner. Subsequently, it appears that cognizance was taken by the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda under Sections 304B, 498A and 201/34 of the Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the father-in-law and husband of the deceased have already been granted bail by the Court below. It is stated that the petitioner is mother-in-law and an old lady aged about 65 years. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also the fact that the petitioner had earlier withdrawn the application for anticipatory bail, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The application is accordingly rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders in the court - 2 - below and prays for bail, then the court below shall consider the same without being prejudiced by the rejection of the prayer for anticipatory bail.
