1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned A.P.P. for the State.

2. The petitioner apprehends her arrest in connection with Rampurhari P.S. Case No. 214 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 103(1), 238 and 3(5) of the BNS, 2023.

3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and is a woman and the informant alleges that both his maternal grandsons were living with their father and step mother (petitioner), further they used to assault his grandson, next alleges that his minor grandson was missing since last nine days, but his son-in-law did not bother to file a missing complaint, it is further alleged that in conspiracy, it appears that father and step mother of his

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.40665 of 2026(2) dt.06-07-2026 2/3 maternal grandson have killed him and have concealed his body.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case being step mother. It is next submitted that from perusal of the allegation as alleged in the FIR, it would manifest that the allegations are general and omnibus in nature and informant is not an eye wetness to the occurrence.

5. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the anticipatory bail application of the petitioner and submits that the dead body of the child was found from a brick kiln. It is next submitted that the child was missing for nine days, but neither the father nor the step mother took any steps for instituting an FIR, which amply demonstrates their conduct and also points to the fact about their involvement in the occurrence. It is next submitted that it was informant who after nine days instituted the instant FIR, as such, no case came to be instituted from the side of the petitioner or her husband, which amply demonstrates that accused persons were aware that the child is no more and dead body of the child was recovered. It is also submitted that investigating in the case is continuing.

6. Considering the submissions made by the learned APP for the State, the Court is not inclined to extend the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.40665 of 2026(2) dt.06-07-2026 3/3 privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

7. Accordingly, the instant anticipatory bail application stands rejected.
