IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46731 of 2008 1. KAMLA DEVI W/O RAM BABU PRASAD, R/O VILL. JANKI TOLA, P.S. FATUHA, DIST. PATNA. ----- PETITIONER Versus 2. THE STATE OF BIHAR ---- OPP. PARTY. ----------- 03. 10.04.2009 The sole petitioner, who is mother-in-law, seeks anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Sections498, 304 B and 201/34 of the Penal Code. The principal argument advanced before this court in support of the prayer is that there is already a compromise entered into between the informant and the accused persons. This by itself is not a ground for invocation of Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. Having regard to the allegations emanating from the F.I.R. as also the impugned order, this court is not satisfied that a case for anticipatory bail has been made out. Accordingly, the application seeking anticipatory bail stands rejected. The petitioner may apply for grant of regular bail after surrender in the court below. With this observation, the application is disposed of. Sym/ (Kishore K. Mandal, J.)
