SHOBHA DEVI 6.MAYA DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR With Cr.Misc. No.24862 of 2009 JITENDRA KUMAR MODI @ JITENDRA KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ------- 3. 01.09.2009 Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that during the pendency of this application the petitioner Gita Devi @ Panchali Devi of Cr.Misc.No.14516 of 2009 has been arrested and, as such, the application as against her has become infructuous. Heard counsel for the parties. This is a case for grant of anticipatory bail in a case instituted under section 498A IPC and section 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act. It is contended that the informant has solemnized marriage with some other person after filing of the case. This Court finds from the FIR that there are allegations of torture and assault against all the accused persons. It appears that on two occasions, attempts were made to do away with the life of the informant. The impugned order reflects that witnesses have supported the allegations. 2 Having considered the facts appearing from the records, this Court is not persuaded to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Both the applications are, accordingly, dismissed hr ( Kishore K. Mandal )
