IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.57761 of 2007 JAGDISH PRASAD & ORS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 2/5/2008. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The petitioners, who are the father-in-law, mother-in-law, the husband of the deceased and the cousin brother of the husband, apprehend arrest in a police case under Sections- 302 and 201/34 of I.P.C. The submission is that the deceased committed suicide on 12.7.2006. As a newly married she was frustrated because of her husband being physically and mentally challenged. Her post mortem was done within 24 to 36 hours of the death. Her parents did not suspect any foul play and did not lodge any prosecution. One and a half years later, the police officer of the Belaganj Police Station lodged the present F.I.R. on 7.11.2007 by converting the U.D.Case registered in July, 2006. That petitioner No.1 had filed an affidavit before the court of the C.J.M., Gaya that the informant was demanding money as extortion failing which he was threatening to get the petitioners falsely implicated. Learned counsel for the State from the case diary submitted that the parents of the deceased have also confirmed the death by strangulation when the parents of the deceased have supported that their daughter was done away with, but it is fairly conceded that there is no material in the case diary of the explanation of the father and - 2 - mother for never having lodged a prosecution in that regard. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case let the petitioners Jagdish Prasad, Beli Devi, Mritunjya Prasad and Nitish Kumar surrender before the court below within four weeks when they shall be enlarged on anticipatory bail upon furnishing the bail-bonds of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) each along with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of C.J.M., Gaya in Belaganj (Pai Bigha) P.S.Case No.141/07 (U.D.Case No.7 of 2006), subject to the conditions laid down under Section- 438(2) of Cr.P.C.
