Mr. Sanjay Kumar Tiwary ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 19-07-2022 At the outset of argument learned counsel for the petitioners seeks permission to withdrawn the anticipatory bail petition of petitioner No.2. Dinesh Sahani.

Prayer is allowed.

This anticipatory bail petition is dismissed as withdrawn against petitioner No.2.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the State.

Petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offence punishable under Section 304B, 201/34 of the

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.61782 of 2021(3) dt.19-07-2022 2/2 Indian Penal Code.

As per the prosecution case, these petitioners committed the murder of daughter of informant due to non fulfillment of demand of dowry.

It is submitted that petitioners are in-laws of the deceased. During the course of investigation none of the witnesses has supported the prosecution case. Petitioners have got clean antecedent.

Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that there is direct and specific allegation against these petitioners that they committed the murder of the daughter of informant due to non fulfillment of demand of dowry. The deceased died within seven years of marriage in her matrimonial home under unnatural circumstances.

Considering the nature of accusation and gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. (Prabhat Kumar Singh, J) BKS/- U T
