Suresh Chauhan, S/o Ram Khelawan Chauhan. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02. 14.06.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, informant and the State. The petitioners seek anticipatory bail in a case instituted for the offences under Sections 304B, 201 and 149 of the Indian Penal Code. In Cr. Misc. No. 19975 of 2010, the petitioner Nos. 1 & 2 are the brothers-in-law of the deceased and the petitioner No. 3 is the mother-in-law of the deceased whereas in Cr. Misc. No. 20000 of 2010, the petitioner Nos. 1 & 2 are the cousin parents-in- law and petitioner No. 3 is the co-villager. On 20.07.2006 the dead body of a female was recovered for which a UD case was instituted suspecting the lady to have been drowned in flood water. Subsequently the brother of the deceased filed a 2 petition before the Police Officers stating therein that the dead body be handed over to them so that last rites may be conducted of the deceased. In the said petition it was mentioned that it was the in-laws who had identified the dead body. Two months later a First Information Report was instituted by the mother of the deceased stating therein that in fact the deceased had been done to death by in-laws for reasons of non-fulfilment of demands of dowry. After investigation a final report was submitted in the matter but a protest petition was filed upon which the present complaint was instituted. The submission is that in fact the post mortem examination report also corroborates the fact that the deceased died on account of drowning. In view of such, in the event of surrender of the petitioners, named above, within four weeks from today in connection with Complaint Case No. 904C of 2008, they shall be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 5,000/- (Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Nalanda at Biharsharif subject to conditions as laid down under 3 Section 438(2) Cr.P.C. and (i) That one of the bailors will be a close relative of the petitioners who will give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the petitioners. The bailor will also undertake to inform the Court if there is any change in the address of the petitioners. (ii) That the petitioners will be well represented on each date and if they fail to do so on two consecutive dates, their bail will be liable to be cancelled. Vikash/- (Anjana Prakash, J.)
