IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16797 of 2009 PARBATIYA DEVI, wife of Banarsi Rai, resident of village Laher Chapra, P.S.-Baldi, district-Saran -----------------------Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 20.5.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Accusation is regarding demand of dowry against the in-laws and thereafter, killing the deceased. Petitioner is not named in the F.I.R. nor has any relation with in-laws’ family for participating the crime rather he was only a mediator. It is for the court to protect the innocent from misusing the penal provision of any enactment. Demand or torture can be caused only by the in-laws family members. Scope of anyone is possible in killing the deceased but when presumption is made a ground for involvement then, in my view also, relation or reason for protection giving to the in-laws family is necessary which is lacking in the case, even then petitioner is summoned under section 319 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in course of trial. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, petitioner’s prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. In the event of arrest or surrender within one month from today in Amanour P.S. case no.50 of 2006 (S. Tr. no.660 of 2006), 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 of Addl. Sessions Judge-IX, Saran, Chapra , subject to the condition as laid down under section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J )
