For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Anil Kumar Singh For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Durgesh Nandan(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR JHA ORAL ORDER 05-11-2015 Heard both sides.

The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case under Section 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The father of the deceased made allegation that his daughter was married with Dipak Singh in the year 2014 and his daughter lived happily for about six months in her Sasural but thereafter her husband, father-in-law and mother-in-law started torturing her for non-fulfillment of demand of dowry. On 22.04.2015 the informant got information that his daughter is ill and she is being treated in Koderma Hospital. On the same day his Samdhi, Suchit Singh, informed that his daughter is all-right but in the next morning he got information that his daughter died. The informant saw the dead body of his daughter lying in the courtyard and there was burn injuries all over her body.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.38662 of 2015 (3) dt.05-11-2015 2/2 It is submitted that the petitioners are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased. The petitioners have no manner of concern with the family affairs of the deceased and her husband. It has come that the deceased got burn injuries while cooking food but from perusal of the materials on record, it appears that father of the deceased made very specific allegation against the petitioners, who happens to be father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased, that they were also torturing the deceased. The deceased died within one year from her marriage that too on account of extensive burn injuries. Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected.

The petitioners, if so advised, may surrender in the court below, i.e., Sri Subir Kumar, learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st class, Nawada in Sirdala P.S. case No. 64/2015, and the court below shall consider the prayer for regular bail without being prejudiced from the order of this court.
