IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.31156 of 2008 SOHRAI BIND son of Late Ramdhani Bind DHANESHWARY DEVI wife of Sohrai Bind Both residents of Korma, P.S.- Ghoshi, District- Jehanabad Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 12.11.2008 Heard learned counsels for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners are accused for the offence under sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 3 & 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. The allegation against the petitioners along with other accused persons is of demand of dowry. Allegation against the petitioner no.2 is that he on earlier occasion had given poison to the daughter of the informant, but somehow she survived, for which a criminal case was also lodged which later on was compromised and the daughter of the informant started living at her in-laws place. Later, since the demand could not be fulfilled she was done to death and her body was cremated in the night itself. Later, on learning the above the informant went to the house when he found that the house was locked and no one was present there. Learned counsel appearing for the State submits that in view of the nature of allegation and its seriousness, the petitioners are not entitled to be granted the privilege of anticipatory bail. 2 Having considered the allegations and the submissions, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to these petitioners. Their prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is, accordingly, rejected. ( Shailesh Kumar Sinha,J.) Manish/-
