IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.2169 of 2008 PRAKASH MAHTO Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 4 09.05.2008 The petitioner, one of the F.I.R. named accused of Bisfi P.S. Case No. 102 of 2007 registered under sections 420, 406, 341, 323, 306 and 504/34 I.P.C. being apprehensive of his arrest in connection therewith has prayed for pre-arrest bail. It appears that for the death of the wife of the informant, apart from the instant case, a U.D. case, being U.D. Case No. 1 of 2007 was registered wherein it came to light that the deceased had consumed some poisonous substance as a result whereof she died later on at Darbhanga where she had been removed for her treatment. However, there is a lurking suspicion of the petitioner being responsible indirectly therefor. It is not known if the investigation in the instant case has been completed. In these circumstances, it would only be appropriate for the petitioner to surrender in the Court below within three weeks and pray for regular bail. This not being a fit case for anticipatory bail is rejected. Sanjay/- (Abhijit Sinha, J.)
