IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15927 of 2008 SUNAINA DEVI & ANR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 03.07.08. This is an application filed under Section 438 Cr.P.C. in connection with Masrakh P.S. Case No. 65 of 2007 for offence under Sections 304(B) and 201/34 I.P.C. Heard. Learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioner is an old lady. The case diary would show that there was separation in the family and petitioner No.1 was living separately. Husband of the deceased is in custody. Father-in-law has already been released on bail. Learned AP.P. opposed the submission and submitted that the Petitioner No.1 Sunaina Devi is a senior member of the family and the case diary shows that there was demand of dowry and torture for the same by the in laws. The dead body of the deceased was buried after the murder and the same was recovered after digging earth. The report of the doctor also shows that the death was caused by throttling. These facts clearly suggest that the case is one of dowry death. Considering the above submissions and the serious nature of the offences, I do not feel inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner No.1 Sunaina Devi. Her prayer for anticipatory bail is accordingly rejected. She may surrender in the concerned court and pray for regular bail. In that event, the learned court would dispose of the matter on merit without being prejudiced by the order. M. Pal. (Rekha Kumari, J) 2
