IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37742 of 2009 1. SMT.SHAIL DEVI W/O LATE RAMDEO BHAGAT VILL - TALKHAPUR , P.S. DUMRA , DISTT - SITAMARHI Versus 1. THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 26.11.2009 Heard both sides. Petitioner, who is mother-in-law of the complainant, has approached this court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under Section 498A of Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel fairly draws attention of this Court to the order dated 8.2.2005 (Annexure-1) wherefrom it appears that her application for bail was refused by this court having regard to the fact that the husband of the victim lady was still traceless. Petitioner has now renewed her prayer for anticipatory bail. Submission is that all other relatives/co-accused have since been granted bail by the different courts. It is next submitted that the husband of the victim has also surrendered and is in jail custody. It is next submitted that the husband of the petitioner has recently expired on 11.10.2009. On these facts, submission has been advanced to consider her case for anticipatory bail. This court does not appreciate filing of repeated anticipatory bail applications. The best course available to the petitioner is to surrender and apply for regular bail in the court below. If the petitioner surrenders within four weeks in the court below and apply for regular bail, the court below shall consider all aspects of the matter including the submissions advanced by her 2 before this court and pass appropriate order in accordance with law uninfluenced by the present order. The application is disposed of. pkj ( Kishore K. Mandal, J. )
