BETTIAH MOFUSSIL, DISTRICT WEST CHAMPARAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 7-5-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Petitioner no.1 is elder brother of husband of victim lady in a case u/s 304B, 201/34 of the IPC. Petitioner no.2 is wife of petitioner no.1. They have prayed for anticipatory bail on the ground that they live separately and there is no specific allegation against them in the FIR lodged by the father of the deceased. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State has submitted that from the allegations it appears that petitioners are also residing together as they have been named in the FIR amongst persons who had demanded dowry as disclosed by the deceased to her father. The death has taken place within one and half years of the marriage in the matrimonial house and body was allegedly disposed of without information. Considering the entire facts and circumstances, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. This order shall not prejudice the case of petitioners if they surrender and seek regular bail.
