IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40710 of 2008 1.KAMESH CHOUDHARY SON OF LATE RAM ASHRAY CHOUDHARY 2.AWDHESH DEVI WIFE OF KAMLESH CHOUDHARY 3.BIPIN CHOUDHARY SON OF KAMESH CHOUDHARY ALL RESIDENT OF VILLAGE AND P. BHANDARI,P.S.BELSAND, DISTRICT SITAMARHI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3/ 16.1.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned A.P.P. and learned counsel appearing for the informant. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case which has been registered for offences under Section 304 B of the Indian Penal Code. According to informant, his daughter Reena Devi was married with Vinay Choudhary, son of petitioner nos.1 and 2 and brother of petitioner no.3. According to allegation, the accused persons asked her to bring money from her father so that they could purchase a jeep and on her failure to bring the amount, she was killed by her in-laws including these petitioners. Carbon copy of the case diary has been received. The Place of occurrence is a room in which the dead body of the informant’s daughter was found. The police after receipt of information came and opened the door which was bolted from inside. The informant’s daughter was found dead and her husband was found lying in injured condition. The petitioners were not there. Submission is that in course of investigation, a number of witnesses have stated that the son of petitioner nos. 1 and 2 who happens to be the husband of the deceased had gone to astray and was not under the control of his other family members and used to take intoxicant and it is he who has committed offence. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners has been opposed by learned counsel appearing for the informant and submitted that the petitioners have also hands in the crime. As room of the deceased was found bolted from inside where her husband was also found in injured condition, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the above named three petitioners are directed to surrender before the court below within twenty days from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order and on their so surrendering, they shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sitamarhi in Belsand P.S.case No. 62 of 2007 subject to the conditions as laid down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
