The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304(B) and 34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are mother-in-law and married sister-in-law (Nanad) of the deceased and are persons with clean antecedent. The informant alleges that his daughter was married to Md. Tanvir about four years ago and out of the wedlock, a daughter was born. It is alleged that the accused persons including the petitioners were torturing the daughter of the informant for dowry. The informant tried to sort out the issue through Panchayat but the same could not be sorted out. It is further alleged that on 14.04.2021,

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.48485 of 2021(3) dt.29-06-2022 2/2 the informant received and information that the accused persons killed his daughter.

Learned counsel for the petitioners further submits that petitioners have been falsely implicated in the present case and from bare perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that the same is general and omnibus in nature. The FIR does even disclose what was being demanded by way of dowry. The husband of the deceased is in custody.

Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners.

Considering the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioners and the fact that the husband of the deceased is in custody, the petitioners above-named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned court below where the case is pending/successor court in connection with Kodhobari P.S. Case No. 17 of 2021, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
