For the Petitioner/s :

Mr.Sunil Kumar No.III Mr.Raki Alam Mr.Rabindra Kumar ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 07-03-2022 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.
The petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Pipra P.S. Case No.309 of 2020, registered for the offence punishable u/s 304(B), 201, 34, 120(B) of IPC. Allegation against the petitioners is that they have
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.8575 of 2021(6) dt.07-03-2022 2/2 murdered the daughter of the informant due to non-fulfillment of demand of dowry and disappeared her to conceal evidence. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case due to oblique reason. It is submitted that the petitioner nos.3, 4 and 5 are not the family members of the deceased and petitioner no.1 and 2 are the father-in-law and the mother-in-law of the deceased. Petitioners had no concern with the life affairs of the deceased and her husband. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail by submitting that there is specific allegation against all the accused persons and the husband of the deceased has also not surrendered yet.
Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, since the allegations are of serious nature, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners named above on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
The instant application stands dismissed.
