Mr.Pradeep Narain Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 01-05-2019 Heard Mr. Ajay Mukherjee, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners.
Petitioners apprehend their arrest in Dariyapur P.S. Case No.128 of 2016, registered under Sections 302, 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners was earlier rejected by order dated 20.12.2016, passed in Cr. Misc. No.45795 of 2016. It is submitted that the petitioners again moved for grant of anticipatory bail on the ground that the husband of the deceased has already been acquitted and father-in-law of the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.14395 of 2019(3) dt.01-05-2019 2/2 deceased was granted anticipatory bail but I find that there is allegation that all the accused persons burnt the deceased to death after pouring kerosene oil on her body and her dead body was thrown, which was later on recovered. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners was rejected on 20.12.2016 but the petitioners did not surrender in the court below and remained waiting for acquittal of the husband of the deceased for more than 21⁄2 years.
Considering the facts aforesaid, I do not find any reason to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected. (Prabhat Kumar Jha, J) S.KUMAR/- U T
