IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26995 of 2009 1. MUKESH YADAV 2. MAHATAM YADAV 3. CHANAWA DEVI ------------ PETITIONERS Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 1.9.2009 Learned counsel for the petitioners seeks permission to withdraw this application as during the pendency of this application, petitioner no.3 Chanawa Devi has been arrested. This application is permitted to be withdrawn as it has become infructuous as against petitioner no.3. Learned counsel is pressing this application for anticipatory bail on behalf of petitioner nos. 1 and 2 only. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner nos.1 and 2 and the State. In the case, the allegation is about demand of dowry of motorcycle, killing the deceased by setting her on fire within three years of marriage in the matrimonial house while the defence is that the fire caught while the deceased was cooking meal. She was taken to hospital but she died in the way, that could be certainly a good defence as it is said that the - 2 - village people also supporting this version followed by husband’s absence at the time of incident but the dead body was disposed of without waiting Maike people rather the allegation is that earlier the mother of the deceased was not allowed to meet her. Thus I find it not a fit case for anticipatory bail. The same is accordingly rejected. (Mandhata Singh,J.) AI
