Shamsa Khatoon alias Onaisa Khatoon wife of Mansur Alam alias Mansoor Ahmad. 2. Mansur Alam alias Mansoor Ahmad son of Late Hafiz Maqbool. Both residents of Mohalla-Maula Nagar, P.S. Sohsarai, District- Nalanda(Bihar Shariff)..........................................Petitioners. Versus The State of Bihar..................................................Opposite Party. ----------- 3. 5.10.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, State and the counsel appearing on behalf of the Opposite Party. The case is one under Sections 306 and 504/34 of the Indian Penal Code. In both the bail applications, the petitioners are married sister-in-law, mother-in-law and father-in-law of the deceased. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the lady was found hanging from the Fan and it is submitted that she committed suicide due to depression. Counsel for the opposite party pointed out that there is direct allegation of demand of dowry by father-in-law and mother-in-law and even the married sister-in-law. Having considered the submissions made on behalf of the petitioner Ozara Khatoon alias Ozra Perween who is the married sister-in-law, I direct that she(Ozara Khatoon alias Ozra 2 Perween) should be released on anticipatory bail in the event of her arrest or surrender within four weeks from today in connection with Sohsarai P.S. Case No. 101 of 2008 on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/-(Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the C.J.M., Nalanda at Biharsharif, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) Cr. P.C. As far as the petitioners no. 1 and 2, namely, Shamsa Khatoon alias Onaisa Khatoon and Mansur Alam alias Mansoor Ahmad of (Cr. Misc. No. 31145 of 2009) are concerned, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to them. The anticipatory bail application of the petitioners is rejected. However, the court below may verify the age of the petitioners and if he found that they are old persons, may consider their regular bail application as expeditiously as possible preferably within a period of four weeks.
