The petitioners seek regular bail in connection with Nanpur P.S. Case No. 215 of 2019 for the offence punishable under Sections 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The allegation is regarding the accused persons having killed the deceased victim lady on account of non-fulfillment of demand for dowry.

The learned counsel for the petitioners has submitted that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that the petitioners are having a clean antecedent and are languishing in custody since 18.11.2019.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.3864 of 2020(2) dt.21-01-2020 2/2 Lastly, it is submitted that the petitioners are the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased victim lady and they have nothing to do with the alleged occurrence inasmuch as the husband of the deceased victim lady is the person who is responsible for her death.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner coupled with the fact that the petitioners are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased victim lady, I deem it fit and proper to direct for release of the petitioners on regular bail.

Accordingly, the petitioners, above named, are directed to be enlarged on regular bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned S.D.J.M., Pupri at Sitamarhi in connection with Nanpur P.S. Case No. 215 of 2019. (Mohit Kumar Shah, J) Tiwary/- U T
