For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Mahendra Prasad Verma For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Pranav Kumar(App) ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KISHORE KUMAR MANDAL ORAL ORDER 19-01-2016 Heard the Counsel for the petitioner and the APP for the State.

Petitioners are facing accusations in Ben P.S. Case No. 106 of 2015 registered under Sections 323, 302, 201, 120B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Two petitioners herein being mother and daughter are related to the deceased as mother and sister. The wife of the deceased lodged a complaint that her husband used to protest against the illicit relationship developed by the petitioner no. 1 and 2 with Satya Narayan Prasad. On the date of occurrence, petitioner no. 1 along with said Satya Narayan Prasad took her husband to some place. Later, it was found that he was done to death and cremated.

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.56721 of 2015 (3) dt.19-01-2016 2/2 Contention of the petitioners is that it is not expected of mother and sister to commit murder of the son/brother. There is no direct eye witness to the commission of the offence. The petitioner no. 1 had also lodged a case with regard to the death of her son.

Counsel for the State, on the other hand, opposed the prayer and submitted that evidence has been collected in course of the investigation against the petitioners. The Sessions Judge has also cited paragraphs of the case diary in the impugned order. Considering the allegation and the materials reflected from the record, particularly, the impugned order, I am not persuaded to privilege them with anticipatory bail. Prayer is rejected.

Let the petitioners surrender and seek regular bail in the Court below.
