IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.26813 of 2009 1. YODHANI DEVI 2. LUXMAN RAM ….. PETITIONERS Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ….. OPP. PARTY ----------- 02 17.08.2009 Heard both sides. Petitioners who are mother-in-law and father-in-law of the victim have approached this Court seeking bail in a case instituted under Sections 498A, 304B, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. The victim was done to death in matrimonial home in a very suspicious circumstance in July, 2001. According to the allegation the marriage had been solemnized two years ago sometimes in the year 1999. The allegation is that the dead body was consigned to flame and thereafter flown in the river. Learned counsel submits that the husband of the victim who was also made accused in the case was put on trial and acquitted on 30.8.2007. Considering the fact that the petitioners showed scanty respect in observing the rule of law, this Court for the present is not inclined to admit 2 them on bail. Prayer for bail is accordingly, rejected. However, this Court cannot be oblivious of the submission that witnesses have not supported the case in S.T. No. 731 of 2003 in which the husband of the victim was tried and acquitted. Having due regard to the said submission this Court grants the petitioners liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months, if in the meanwhile, the trial of the case is not taken up and concluded.
