Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.19203 of 2017 (4) dt.27-07-2017 daughter, on which, informant and others entered in the room by breaking the door and found that his daughter was found dead. The informant raised suspicion against Amrit Ram as there is land dispute in between the informant and Amrit Ram and Amrit Ram threatened him of dire consequences.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the brother of the informant and he has not raised any suspicion against the petitioner having hand in the murder of his daughter. Later on, on the basis of questionnaire of the informant prepared by the Investigating Officer, the name of the petitioner is surfaced.

Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. The petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks and pray for regular bail, which would be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
