IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40704 of 2010 MEENA DEVI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 14.03.2011. Heard. The allegation is that the deceased who was married to the son of the present petitioner was being tortured by the present petitioner and her husband because the deceased was being pressurized by her family members to bring money from her parents. It is stated by the informant that he was informed telephonically by the deceased on 30th of April, 2010 that she was being beaten up by the present petitioner and her husband and a little after having received that information he again learnt telephonically that she killed herself at fire. The contention was that the circumstances available from the investigation of the case, specially paragraph-5 indicates that the deceased had closed herself inside a room. What appears from the rejection order is that the deceased had a son who was born out of the wed-lock and probably she was 2 carrying yet another pregnancy. There is no specific allegation as regards the amount of money which was allegedly demanded from the deceased. Moreover, the present petitioner is the mother-in-law and the husband is in custody. Considering the status of the present petitioner and the fact that the husband is in custody and it is a case under Section 304B of the IPC, let the above named petitioner be released from custody on furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/-(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Darbhanga in Hayaghat P.S.Case No.40 of 2010.
