IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.46360 of 2009 1. MANJU DEVI 2. Gangadhar Pathak Versus The STATE OF BIHAR ------ 2/ 29.01.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. There is every allegation about demand of dowry and torture due to its non-fulfillment soon before the death within seven years of marriage in matrimonial house, but according to the learned counsel, four of the family members including husband appeared and faced trial and acquitted. In my view, that could be taken for lenient view but petitioners’ prayer for anticipatory bail was refused as withdrawn on 15.04.2008 itself. That only disentitles the petitioners for grant of anticipatory bail, who are none else than mother-in-law and father-in-law of the deceased. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioners is rejected. However, petitioners are directed to surrender before the Court below and pray for regular bail which shall be decided on merit without being prejudiced by the present order. shail (Mandhata Singh, J.)
