IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.29879 of 2009 1. BASMATI DEVI 2. JAGDEO RAI 3. SANJAY RAI 4. JALANDHAR RAI 5. UDAI RAI -------------------- PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 5 15.2.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Death in matrimonial house within seven years of marriage and torture for non-fulfilment of demand of dowry soon before the death of the deceased is followed by ligature mark found on the neck of the deceased and absence of all the family members may never be taken for liberal view in anticipatory bail while petitioners are mother-in-law, father-in-law and brother-in-laws of the deceased only in name of marrying of another daughter by the informant with the deceased’s husband. Hence, prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, petitioners are directed to surrender and move for regular bail. AI ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
