Manjula Devi w/o Nandu Ram , all residents of village Haripur Ram Tola, P.S. Forbisganj, District - Arariya Versus State Of Bihar ----------- 2 21/5/2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, specially the plight of a helpless lady who was suspected to be a witch and given inhuman treatment, the prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected. If the petitioners surrender and seek regular bail then the same should be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced by this order. The prayer for bail of ladies, who are petitioner nos. 3 & 4, Laxmi Devi and Manjula Devi, should be considered expeditiously and preferably on the date of surrender itself.
