As per the prosecution case, the petitioners along with other co-accused have committed murder of the daughter of the informant due to non-fulfillment of dowry demand. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. They have been

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.11346 of 2023(2) dt.25-04-2023 2/2 falsely implicated in this case. The allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. He submits that the petitioner no. 1 is father-in-law and petitioner no. 2 is brother-in-law (Dewar) of the deceased. He submits that there is no specific overt act against the petitioner. The petitioners has got no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-3 of the bail application.

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposing the bail petition submitted that the petitioners are also involved in the present case.

Considering the facts and circumstances of case and the nature of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is hereby rejected.
