Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.67372 of 2021(2) dt.19-04-2022 2/3 that the FIR was against unknown and there is no whisper that any woman was also involved in the occurrence. Learned counsel submits that petitioner is cousin of Md. Shaukat and Md. Khurshid and she had come to her parental home as she was pregnant and thus was completely unaware of the fact that what the aforesaid brothers have given her to keep in the house. It is further submitted that during raid the bag which was given by Md. Shaukat and Md. Khurshid was recovered and thus, petitioner came to be implicated in the present case. Learned counsel further submits that admittedly the petitioner was pregnant when the occurrence had taken place and the same would be evident from Annexure-2 to the bail application which is the certificate issued by the Superintendent of Jail, Hajipur. Learned A.P.P. for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner.
