IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.44593 of 2008 DHANJIT GIRI Versus STATE OF BIHAR With Cr.Misc.No. 47090 of 2008 ANJALI DAS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ------ 5 13.5.2009 Both the applications for anticipatory bail arise out of K.Hat P.S.Case No.269 of 2008, have been heard together. No doubt there is allegation regarding demand and cruelty caused by petitioners also. The petition of mother-in-law (Cr.Misc.No. 47090 of 2008) is opposed on the ground that while allowing bail to the father-in-law, observation is made by a Bench regarding allegation specific against the husband and mother-in-law, so no relief similar to her husband, can be given to her but in my view, mother-in-law can never equate with husband. In the instant case, just after the marriage, the complainant accompanied her husband to Noida where he was residing, even then she may not be allowed to come to her mother-in-law to involve in a case under section 498A IPC. She is liability of her husband. - 2 - Another petitioner of Cr.Misc.No. 44593 of 2008 is friend of the husband, has also been made accused of matrimonial cause so, his arrest also cannot be justified when the father-in-law is allowed bail by a Bench of this Court. Prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. It is directed that in the event of arrest or surrender within one month from today, the above named petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purnea, in K.Hat P.S.Case No. 269 of 2008, subject to the condition as laid down under section 438(2) Cr.P.C.
