Sadhna Kumari, W/O Ramesh Chandra, D/O Late Haldhar Das at present Officers Colony, Sadar Hospital Road, P.S.Madhubani Town, District- Madhubani.................................Opposite parties. ------------ 2. 22.12.2009. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and counsel appearing for the State. The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in a case under Sections 498(A) and 323 of the Indian Penal Code. The petitioners are the father-in-law and the mother-in-law. Earlier the matter was compromised between the parties and the lady began to live with her husband. Again, there was demand and the lady was tortured and asked to bring certain amount of money from her parents just because she had given birth of two girls children. The husband has categorically refused to keep his wife with him and there is direct allegation of making demand against the petitioners. Considering this aspect of the matter, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. The anticipatory bail application of the petitioners is rejected. U.K. (Sheema Ali Khan,J)
