IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.5133 of 2010 1. GYANCHAND SINGH S/o Late Ramdayal Singh 2. Chandeshwar Singh S/o Gyan Chand Singh 3. Munna Singh S/o Gyanchand Singh Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2/ 30.03.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offence under Sections 306/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant alleged that his daughter Lilawati Devi, wife of Arjun Singh was lying dead at the passenger cell at Garhani station. The informant alleged that accused persons used to torture his daughter and as such on account of frustration, she may have committed suicide. At the time of death she was having convulsions. Petitioner no.1 is father-in-law, petitioner nos. 2 and 3 are brother-in-laws of the victim girl Lilawati Devi. The petitioners submit that in fact two daughters of the informant are married with son of petitioner no.-1. One of the daughters, the deceased Lilawati Devi was married with Arjun Singh and the other daughter was married with other son of petitioner no.1, namely Bindeshwari Singh, who curiously enough, have not been made accused in the instant case. Learned counsel submits that the deceased was strong headed woman and she has committed suicide. In support of his submissions’ he has referred to Annexures- 2 and 3, which are the informatory petition and complaint case filed by Arjun Singh before Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur, Ara. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, - 2 - this court is inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner nos.-2 and 3. In the circumstances, in the event of arrest or surrender within six weeks from today before the court below in connection with Agiaon (Garhani) P.S. Case No. 41 of 2009, petitioner nos. 2 and 3 shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 5,000/- (Five thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhojpur, Ara, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure. So far as petitioner no.1 is concerned, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail. His prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected. However, he will surrender before the court below and seek regular bail, which would be disposed of on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. Uday/ (Samarendra Pratap Singh, J.)
