IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.21905 of 2009 LALITA DEVI @ LALTI DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 16.07.2009 Petitioner being the mother –in-law has been made accused with an allegation that the victim was done to death in the matrimonial home within two years of her marriage. The occurrence had taken place in December 2003. It appears that she evaded arrest for about five years and was taken into custody on 22.12.2008. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the husband of the petitioner (father- in-law) has since been granted the privilege of bail by this court on 15.10.2004. Having regard to the allegation and the fact that she evaded arrest for a pretty long time, this court is not prepared to extend her the privilege of bail. Prayer for bail is accordingly rejected with liberty to renew prayer for bail after five months from the date of receipt/communication of this order in the court below, if the trial in the meanwhile does not commence.
