Lila Devi,wife of Krishna Yadav All resident of village-Nayatola (Jurabganj), P.S.-Korha,District-Katihar. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03/ 24-06-2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. Petitioners have been alleged for setting the deceased on fire, resulting into her death. Reason for the incident is said to be demand of dowry and its non-fulfilment. Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioners are mother-in-law and two married sisters-in- law (Nanad). Though they have been alleged for setting the deceased on fire after sprinkling kerosene oil but not by the eye witness, rather the eye witness, who appeared to describe the incident, is the daughter of the deceased, clearly states about quarrel between her father and mother and sprinkling of kerosene oil by the father and setting the mother on fire. Marriage is seven years ago. So, there is only presumption against these petitioners. In the discussed and suggested facts and circumstances, this petition for anticipatory bail is allowed. In case of arrest or surrender within one month from today in Korha P.S.Case No.81/2007, the above named petitioners shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(rupees ten thousand)each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Katihar, subject to the conditions as laid down under sub-section (2) of Section 438 of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
