PARTY ----------- 2 20-4-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the State and learned counsel appearing for the complainant/informant. Petitioner no.1 is mother-in-law and petitioners 2 and 3 are Nanad of the victim lady in a case under sections 498-A and 304-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Considering the un-natural death within seven years of marriage and the allegation by close family members such as father of the victim lady that she was being tortured for dowry soon before her death, the prayer of petitioner no.1 who is elderly responsible person in the family, is rejected. This order shall not prejudice the case of petitioner no.1 if she surrenders and seeks regular bail. 2 So far as petitioners 2 and 3 are concerned, considering that they are junior members of the family and appear to be unmarried girls and in absence of any specific allegation in the complaint petition, their prayer for anticipatory bail is allowed. In the event of arrest or surrender within six weeks, let petitioners 2 and 3 namely Sadhana Devi and Suman Kumari be enlarged on bail on each of them furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kaimur at Bhabhua in connection with Ramgarh P.S.Case No. 99 of 2009, subject to the conditions laid down under sections 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
