Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.28362 of 2025(2) dt.12-05-2025 2/3 the B.N.S.

3. As per allegation, the petitioners along with other co-accused has committed dowry death of daughter of the informant.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the Petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case. He further submits that the petitioners are other than the husband and they have nothing to do with the alleged offence. He also submits that the allegation against the petitioners is general and omnibus in nature and they are separate in mess and business from the husband of the alleged victim.

5. It is also stated in paragraph no. 2 of the bail petition that the petitioners have not moved this Court earlier either for anticipatory bail or regular one in the instant case.

6. It has further been stated in paragraph no.3 of the petition that the petitioners have no criminal antecedents.

7. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposes the prayer of the Petitioner for bail submitting that the petitioners are close relatives of the husband of the victim who has been done to death on account of inability of her parents to fulfill the illegal demand of dowry. There is also nothing on record to show that the petitioners are separate in mess and business with

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.28362 of 2025(2) dt.12-05-2025 3/3 the husband of the victim.

8. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, I am not persuaded to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.

9. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners stands rejected.
