The accusation is that due to non-fulfillment of demand of motorcycle and cash of Rs.1,00,000/- in dowry Sunita, sister of the informant, was brutally assaulted at about 10.00 p.m. on 02.04.2019 and also put her on fire in which she sustained burn injury and she is under treatment in medical college, Gorakhpur.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.56871 of 2019(2) dt.09-09-2019 2/2 that petitioners are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the victim. In fact, sister of the informant sustained burn injury in course of cooking.

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State opposes the prayer for pre-arrest bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of pre-arrest bail to the petitioners. The prayer for pre-arrest bail is rejected. The petitioners are directed to surrender before the Court below and seek regular bail, which will be considered on its own merit and without being prejudiced of this order.
