The petitioner apprehends her arrest in connection with Maranchi P.S. Case No.29 of 2018 registered under Sections 341, 323, 307, 326, 498(A) and 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code besides Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act, pending in the court of Sri Deepak Kumar, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate-cum-Sub Judge-IV, Barh, Patna. The accusation is that the deceased, the daughter of the informant, was set on fire by her husband, mother-in-law, father-in-law and Nanad, due to non-fulfillment of the dowry demand of cash Rs.1,00,000/-, who died, later on, at the hospital.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.42319 of 2019(5) dt.26-09-2019 2/2 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased, the daughter of the informant, and she used to reside separate to her son, the husband of the deceased. With an ulterior motive, the petitioner has also been implicated in this case. Having considered the facts and the circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks from today and pray for regular bail, which shall be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
