Lalsa Devi Versus STATE OF BIHAR ------ 3/ 24.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners, learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the informant, Mr. Ashok Kumar Verma. Petitioner no.1 is mother-in-law and petitioner no.2 is gotni of the deceased. Allegation is about causing torture for non- fulfillment of demand of dowry. Death is denied on the ground that informant’s daughter left her matrimonial home in the morning on stake of coming out of the house to meet the call of nature as was not willing to reside with her husband. Status of petitioner no.2 may also be similar to that of informant’s daughter but one thing is going against petitioners that they approached the Sessions Judge in the year 2009, while matter was under investigation for anticipatory bail which was refused and charge-sheet is submitted after 09.02.2010 showing petitioners’ absconder is a matter to be considered by the Court below. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, prayer of the petitioners for anticipatory bail is rejected.
