IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.12065 of 2010 SHAIL DEVI,w/o Lalan Pandey,resident of village-Olapur, P.S.-Pirpainty,Distt.- Bhagalpur. .. .. Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR .. Opp.Party ----------- For the Petitioner :M/s D.K.Sinha(Sr.Advocate), Swapnil Kr.Singh & Bhola Prasad,Advocates For the State :Mr. Shyam Kr.Singh,Addl.P.P. ----------- 02/ 03-05-2010 Heard the parties. In a criminal prosecution for the offence under Section 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, the petitioner is the mother-in- law of the deceased and there is allegation of demand of dowry and torture against her also besides others. It is admitted that petitioner had moved earlier before this Court for grant of anticipatory bail in Cr. Misc.No.48592 of 2007 and that was dismissed as withdrawn by order dated 11-01- 2008 with a direction to the petitioner to surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks. It is submitted that, though petitioner could not surrender in the court below, but the trial against two accused persons were taken up and both of them have been acquitted by the learned trial court. Be that as it may, in the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly in view of the fact that the prayer for anticipatory bail was earlier rejected by this Court with specific direction to surrender, which she did not comply, her prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected once again by this Court. She must 2 surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today in Pirpainty P.S. Case No.64/2007 and seek regular bail, if so advised. If such a petition is filed, the same may be considered and disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. AH/ ( Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
