IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.39973 of 2010 1. SANGEETA DEVI 2. ASHOK SINGH 3. LALA SINGH @ LALA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2 09-11-2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Admittedly husband of petitioner no.1 became traceless on 17-4-2010. The villagers are alleged to have authorized one Arun Singh to lodge the present case with allegation that petitioner no.1 was having illicit relation with petitioner no.2 and when the husband saw them in compromising position and objected, he was administered poison and his body was made to disappear and in this petitioner no.3 also helped the accused persons. On behalf of the petitioners, it has been submitted that when the husband of petitioner no.1 could not be traced then a complaint case has been lodged by petitioner no.1 against the informant and some others on 1-5-2010. The case relates to a serious offence in which interference of any kind is not desirable. Rather, it is 2 necessary that police should be given due freedom and independence to examine all the concerned persons and come to a correct conclusion without any hindrance. The prayer for anticipatory bail is, therefore, rejected. This order shall not prejudice the case of petitioners for regular bail. BKS/- (Shiva Kirti Singh, J.)
