The prosecution case is based on recovery of dead body of a woman lying near the railway track. The spy has identified the body as being of Baijanti Devi. During investigation it has come that the victim's husband Upendra Rai was having illicit relation with the petitioner and on that basis husband of the victim and the instant petitioner have been implicated in this case. Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.7607 of 2020(2) dt.08-07-2020 2/2 petitioner is not named and other than allegation of illicit relationship with husband of the victim there is nothing against the petitioner. Learned APP for the State has drawn attention of the court towards the order passed by the court below, after going through the case diary. The same has recorded that the witnesses have supported the factum of illicit relation and that the brother-in-law of the informant (petitioner's husband) had abused him on enquiry being made for the illicit relationship.

During investigation witnesses have supported the case against the petitioner and in the circumstances having regard to the seriousness of the allegation this Court is not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The prayer is rejected.
