IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11495 of 2010 KAMLAWATI DEVI, W/O GUPTESHWAR SINGH, R/O VILLAGE- BHELURA RAMPUR, P.S. JAINPUR, DISTRICT- PATNA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 05-05-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Prayer for anticipatory bail has been pressed mainly on the ground that although petitioner is mother-in-law of the victim lady in a case u/s 304B and other sections of the IPC, yet there is no specific allegation against her and allegedly demand of dowry was being made by the husband of the victim. Considering the nature of the offence and responsibility of the petitioner as senior member of the family, this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The prayer is rejected. This order shall not prejudice the case of petitioner for regular bail if she surrenders and prays for the same on all the grounds including that she is a lady and said to be aged about 68 years.
