Versus STATE OF BIHAR . ----------- 2. 7.10.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Petitioner is mother-in-law. Torture for demand of dowry soon before the death within seven years of marriage in matrimonial house is there. Age of the petitioner is near about 70 years and her suffering from ailment is made ground for taking a sympathetical view to allow her on bail but ailment developed only after rejection of her prayer by the learned Sessions Judge as the same was not made ground there. Petitioner may be widow but her different role to play in making demand and causing cruelty does not entitle her for anticipatory bail. Accordingly, prayer of the petitioner is rejected. However, petitioner is directed to surrender and pray for regular bail. Her age and ailment may be taken as a ground while considering bail to the petitioner in regular side.
