Contention of the petitioners is that they are separate

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.21785 of 2016 (2) dt.20-05-2016 2/2 from the husband of the deceased since last several years. The allegation is general and omnibus. The married daughter of the petitioners have since been released on anticipatory bail by this Court.

Mr. Dayal, learned APP, opposed the prayer and submitted that within 07 years of marriage the victim was done to death in the matrimonial home as alleged in the First Information Report. It was definitely an unnatural death of the victim. Considering the seriousness of the allegations, I am not persuaded to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners. prayer is, accordingly, rejected.
