IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5045 of 2008 KANTA DEVI WIFE OF LATE MUNSHI MAHTO RESIDENT OF VILLAGE PIPRA,P.S.GOBARAHIA,DIST.WEST CHAMPARAN Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 6/ 7.11.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned A.P.P. and learned counsel appearing for the informant. The informant has given a written report before the police that he received information that his daughter Sangeeta Kumari, who was married with Ajay Mahto, son of the petitioner, about six years ago, has been assaulted by the petitioner and his son. The informant rushed to the sasural of his daughter where his daughter told that she has been mercilessly beaten by both the accused persons. While she was being taken away for treatment, she succumbed to the injuries. The motive of occurrence is described that the husband of the deceased was of bad character having relationship with some ladies and that used to result in altercation. Submission is that the petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased and she is in jail custody since 3.8.2007. The husband of the deceased is already in jail custody. The post mortem report shows that the deceased died on account of neuralgic shock and haemorrhage. Learned counsel appearing for the informant by opposing the prayer for bail submits that eye witnesses have supported that before death the deceased was mercilessly beaten by the petitioner and her son. 2 Considering the contradictions in post mortem report and the statements of witnesses, I am inclined to grant bail to the petitioner who is a lady of 65 years of age. Accordingly, let the above named petitioner 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bagaha, West Champaran in Gobarahia P.S.Case No. 6 of 2007.
