IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.5622 of 2010 PUNAM DEVI @ POONAM DEVI . Versus STATE OF BIHAR . 2 8.4.2010 KHAN Heard counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner apprehends her arrest in a case under sections 302, 201/34 of the Penal Code. It appears that by order dated 30.6.2008 passed by this court the petitioner was permitted to withdraw her anticipatory bail application bearing Cr.Misc.No.8738 of 2008 in order to enable her to move the court below for regular bail. The petitioner is once again renewing her prayer for anticipatory bail stating that she is the first wife and she herself has been tortured. It is alleged in the F.I.R. that the petitioner who happens to be the first wife tortured and assaulted the second wife Sushma Devi. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the husband and other accused persons are on bail. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Her prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. However, if the petitioner surrenders and prays for regular bail, the same would be disposed of preferably on the same day and also taking into consideration that other accused persons are on bail.
