KHUTAUNA, DISTRICT MADHUBANI……………………………………………… PETITIONERS VERSUS THE STATE OF BIHAR……OPPOSITE PARTY ----------- 4. 06.11.2009 Heard learned senior counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The case was registered under Section 304B read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned senior counsel for the petitioners submits that as the marriage was found to be solemnized more than seven years earlier, the case was converted into section 302 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioners are in-laws of the deceased. From the order of the learned Sessions judge it appears that the lady was brutally murdered by twisting her neck. A report was called for and from the report it appears that case has been committed to Court of Session for trial. In the circumstances, considering the finding of the doctor in the post mortem report, as mentioned in the order of the learned court - 2 - below, this Court is not inclined to allow petitioner on bail at this stage. The application is rejected. However, in case trial of the case is not concluded within one year, petitioners will be at liberty to move for bail again. B.T (J.N. Singh, J.)
