Informant’s daughter Dolly Kumari alias Jyoti Kumari was married with Rajiv Kumar Mishra, son of the petitioners, in the year 2005. Later on she was being subjected to torture by her in-laws. Thereafter, on being repeated demands, the informant gave Rs.80,000/- to his son-in-law for purchasing a vehicle but still she was being subjected to torture by the in-laws in connection with further dowry related demands. The informant received telephonic information on 20th October,2007 that his daughter has become ill and she was being taken to Bettiah. Thereafter the informant rushed there and came to know that his daughter has been burnt but he could not succeed in getting any information telephonically from petitioner no.1 Prem Kumar Mishra. Later on it was learnt that his daughter 2 has been killed. Submission is that the petitioners are parents of the husband of the deceased and they are men of advance age. Further submission is that they had no control over the affairs of his son. They are in jail custody since 23.5.2008. The prayer for grant bail of the petitioners has been vehemently opposed by the learned counsel appearing for the informant who has submitted that it was a cold blooded murder and the post mortem reveals that the death was on account of throttling. This fact has come in course of investigation. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, let the above named petitioners be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Sub-Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Raxaul, East Champaran, Motihari in Ramgarhwa P.S.Case No. 156 of 2007.
