Within one year of marriage, the lady was burnt to death inside the matrimonial home. Accordingly, Barahara P.S. Case No. 263 of 2013 under sections 302 and 201/34 IPC was recorded.

Counsel for the petitioner states that it was a love affair. The husband of the deceased attempted to give some medical assistance to the victim. The petitioner is an old lady. So she deserves the privilege of anticipatory bail. Mr. Dayal opposed the prayer and submitted that the deceased was done to death in suspicious circumstances in matrimonial home within one year of marriage. An attempt was

Considering the materials on record, I am not inclined to privilege the petitioner with anticipatory bail. Her prayer for bail is rejected.

Let the petitioner surrender and seek bail. Thereafter the learned court below shall pass an order on her application in accordance with law uninfluenced by the present order. (Kishore Kumar Mandal, J) HR/- U
