For the Petitioner/s : Mrs. Anita Kumari Singh, Advocate For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Anil Kumar Singh 1, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SANJAY PRIYA ORAL ORDER 3/ 17-05-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

Petitioner apprehends his arrest in Bidupur P.S. Case No.118 of 2017 instituted for the offence under Section(s) 304-B, 201, 120-B Indian Penal Code pending in the Court of the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, 14th, Vaishali at Hajipur.

Petitioner is husband of the deceased.

It is alleged in the written report that marriage of sister of the informant was performed on 04.07.2014. She was tortured in Sasural for demand of motorcycle. One daughter was also born, who was aged about two years. On 10.04.2017, the informant got call on his mobile that his sister is ill. The

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.26618 of 2018 (3) dt.17-05-2018 2/2 informant went to her Sasural and found the house locked. On query, the informant came to know that that her sister has been killed in Sasural by in-laws and they made her dead body disappear. The informant suspected that the accused persons may also kill her niece.

In this manner, from the written report itself, it appears that deceased died within three years of her marriage in Sasural and the death was unnatural.

In such circumstances, this Court does not find it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail.

Prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail is rejected.

Petitioner may surrender before the Court below and seek regular bail, which shall be considered and disposed off in accordance with law without being prejudiced by this order. (Sanjay Priya, J) JA/- U T
