Heard Mr. Sanjay Kumar Verma, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners, Mrs. Iti Suman, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the complainant and Mr. S. M. Rahman, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Complaint Case No. 1633 C of 2009, in which cognizance has been taken under Section 304 B besides some other offences of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioners that Petitioner No.1 is father-in-law, Petitioner No. 2 is mother-in- law and Petitioner No. 3 is Dewar (younger brother of the husband of the deceased). It is also submitted that complaint petition has been filed belatedly after death of the deceased and the funeral has taken place in presence of the complainant and subsequently, with false and baseless allegation, the present complaint petition has been filed. Learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the 2 complainant have strongly opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail made on behalf of the petitioners. It has been highlighted that main accused Lal Deo Ram, the husband of the deceased is still absconding and further Petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 have played important role for committing the crime in question. In the aforesaid background, prayer for grant of anticipatory bail made on behalf of Petitioner Nos. 1 and 2 is rejected. They must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today, and if so advised, seek regular bail which may be disposed of on its own merit. So far Petitioner No. 3 is concerned, he is Dewar (brother-in-law) of the deceased and in the whole complaint petition no specific role has been assigned against him. In the aforesaid background, in the event of his arrest/surrender within a period of four weeks from today, Petitioner No. 3, namely, Chhotu, shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Judicial Magistrate, Ist Class, Patna, in connection with Complaint Case No. 1633 C of 2009, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of Cr.P.C. m.p.
