IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.14610 of 2010 1. ANUP SINGH @ ANUP KUMAR SINGH 2. SUBHADRA DEVI ---------------- PETITIONERS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 19.7.2010 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Defence is death due to snake biting but allegation is about demand of dowry, torture for its non-fulfilment soon before the death within a year of marriage in matrimonial house. There is no post mortem, no doubt some of the witnesses from petitioners’ village are there to say that the deceased died due to snake biting but could not be examined by any doctor. It is specifically submitted on behalf of learned A.P.P. appearing for the State that the dead body of victim of snake biting is never cremated while in the instant case that is cremated, if that is taken into consideration under the circumstances stated above, petitioners though being younger brother-in-law and mother-in-law are not entitled for anticipatory bail. Hence, prayer for anticipatory bail on behalf of petitioner is rejected. AI ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
