IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr. Misc. No.49692 of 2008 1. Chandrika Devi alias Sushila Devi w/o Shri Yogendra Narayan Singh & 2. Yogendra Narayan Singh S/o Late Ram Sharan Singh, Both resident of village- Rakiya, P.S. Bihra, District-Saharsa … Petitioners Versus 1. The State Of Bihar 2. Kanchan Kumari w/o Suresh Prasad Singh, resident of village-Panchgachia (Patori), P.S. Bihra, District- Saharsa. …Opposite parties ----------- 7/ 22.04.2009 Heard. This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail on behalf of the mother-in-law and father-in-law for the offence alleged to have been committed under section 498-A of the Indian Penal Code. The matter was heard in chamber and it is hoped that due to influence of in-laws things could be settled between the parties. However, the father-in-law has quite blatantly submitted that he has no control over his son although he is allegedly financially supporting him. It would appear that the matter cannot be settled until the husband is willing to do so. Under the circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. In the event of arrest/ surrender of the petitioners, in connection with Complaint Case No.1677C of 2007 within six weeks from today, they (1. Chandrika Devi alias Sushila Devi and 2. Yogendra Narayan Singh) shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the C.J.M., Saharsa. This record may be placed along with bail application of Suresh Prasad Singh, which is likely to be filed in connection with Complaint Case No.1677C of 2007, for grant of anticipatory bail in the High Court.
