JUSTICE MOHIT KUMAR SHAH ORAL ORDER 15-10-2020 The present petition has been taken up for consideration through the mode of Video conferencing in view of the prevailing lock-down on account of COVID 19 Pandemic, requiring social distancing.

Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and Ashok Kumar, the learned A.P.P. appearing for the State. The petitioner apprehends her arrest in connection with Sirdalla P.S. Case No. 59 of 2019 for the offence punishable under Sections 147. 148, 149, 323, 364, 365, 302 of the Indian Penal Code and section 3/4 of Dian Act.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.23971 of 2020(2) dt.15-10-2020 2/2 the wife of the informant at the very inception, resulting in her falling on the ground, whereafter all the accused persons had assaulted her and killed her.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent, has been falsely implicated in the present case and is having a clean antecedent. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and taking into account the fact that specific allegation has been levelled against the petitioner of having pushed the deceased wife of the petitioner, I do not find that the present case to be a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner, hence the present petition stands dismissed.
