Mr.Syed Ehteshamuddin ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 28-02-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State.

The petitioners seek pre-arrest bail in connection with Majhaulia P.S.Case No. 367 of 2019 registered under Sections 304-B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Considering that the daughter-in-law of the petitioners was killed in her matrimonial house within two years of her marriage and there is specific allegation that only a day before the alleged murder the victim had informed her parents that if the demand of Rs. 2 lakhs would not be fulfilled, she would be killed, I am not inclined to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. The application for grant of pre-arrest bail is

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.5627 of 2020(2) dt.28-02-2020 2/2 rejected.

In case the petitioners surrender and seek bail, the same shall be considered on its own merit without being prejudiced in any manner by this order.
