IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.15673 of 2009 1. JANAMDEO PANDEY son of Sri Vidyadhar Pandey 2. Dhananjay Kumar Pandey son of Sri Janamdeo Pandey 3. Sabitri Devi @ Shalini Devi wife of Dhananjay Kumar Pandey, all are resident of village Habibpura, P.S. Sohsarai, Dist. Nalanda …….Petitioners Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 3.8.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. No doubt the case is lodged by the Police officer and there is none to depose as eyewitness. The circumstances are there only to the involvement of the petitioners in killing the deceased due to burn injury. This is not disputed that some circumstances are in favour of the petitioners also, that is, pendency of case registered under section 498 A of the Indian Penal Code and 125 Cr.P.C. filed by the deceased against the in-laws. What is against these petitioners is that none of them were present when the occurrence took place and the door was locked from the outside and presence of water was also there in the room where the dead body and burnt used articles were found. Therefore, it belies the case of suicide. The investigation of the case is in progress. So I do not find it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
