The petitioners apprehend their arrest in Harsidhi P.S. case No. 79 of 2003 under Section 304B, 120B and 201 of the Indian Penal Code.

The informant alleged that he married his daughter, Savita with Chandra Kishore Paswan, son of Ram Bilas Paswan of village Ahirganwa but his daughter was poisoned to death by her husband, other family members and the petitioners and her dead body was cremated.

The learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioners are not the family members of Chandra Kishore

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.46282 of 2016 (3) dt.15-12-2016 2/2 Paswan. They have no manner of concern with the family affairs of the husband of the deceased. The police after investigation submitted charge sheet under Section 302, 120B, 34 of the IPC but from perusal of the records, it appears that the case is of the year 2003. The petitioners are named in the FIR but the petitioners moved before this court for grant of anticipatory bail after 13 years of the occurrence although charge sheet was submitted in the year 2004 itself.

On this ground alone that petitioners have approached this court for grant of anticipatory bail after 13 years of the occurrence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. (Prabhat Kumar Jha, J) BKS/- U T
