Mr.Arun Kumar Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAKESH KUMAR ORAL ORDER 04-04-2019 Heard Sri Ranjan Kumar Jha, learned counsel for the petitioners and Sri Arun Kumar Singh, learned Additional Public Prosecutor.

Two petitioners, mother-in-law and father -in-law respectively of the deceased, have approached this court for grant of bail in the event of their arrest or surrender in connection with Gopalpur (Rangra) P.S. Case No. 309 of 2017 registered for offence under Section 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that of course during investigation some material has come against mother-in-law i.e. petitioner no. 1 but against petitioner no. 2 no specific evidence has come.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7655 of 2019(3) dt.04-04-2019 2/2 Fact remains that F.I.R. was lodged long back in the year 2017 and petitioners were arrayed as accused in the F.I.R. for offence under Section 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that in the case the deceased was sprinkled kerosene oil by the accused persons and she was put on fire.

Be that as it may, considering the nature of accusation as well as the fact that F.I.R. was lodged long back in the year 2017, there is no reason to entertain the prayer for anticipatory bail.

The petition stands dismissed.
