IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.13480 of 2010 FULPARI DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ---------- 04/ 19.11.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned P.P. for the State. Petitioner- Fulpari Devi apprehends her arrest in connection with Kurhni (Turki O.P) P.S. Case no. 275/2008 registered under sections 304B and 201/34 of the IPC. Admittedly, petitioner is mother-in-law of the deceased. It is alleged that marriage of the deceased was taken place on 22.5.2006 but subsequently, she was subjected to cruelty and harassment on account of illegal demand and on 16.8.2008 deceased was burnt to death by petitioner and other accused and her dead body was removed from the place of the occurrence. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is an old lady and, as a matter of fact, deceased was residing along with her husband and petitioner is separate from husband of the deceased. He refers some paragraphs of the case diary to show improbability of the occurrence but I am not at all convinced with the aforesaid submission. In course of investigation, some witnesses claimed this fact that when deceased was burning in the house of the petitioner they reached there and the deceased categorically stated the manner of the occurrence in which petitioner and other accused committed her murder. Regard being had to the aforesaid facts and circumstances - 2 - as well as submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, her prayer for anticipatory bail stands rejected. shahid (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J))
