====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 19-01-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State.

The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 323, 341, 379, 498A of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3⁄4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

Allegedly, petitioners with other family members tortured the informant mentally and physically and demanded a motorcycle and Rs. 5,00,000/-. in dowry. They also ousted her from her matrimonial house.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.67488 of 2022(2) dt.19-01-2023 2/2 petitioners are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the informant and lived separately from his son and her. They are quite innocent and have committed no offence. No such occurrence as alleged ever took place. Petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. The allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-3 of this application. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since there is no specific allegation against the petitioners, let the above named petitioners, be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Court below where the case is pending/successor Court in connection with Complaint Case No. 283C of 2019, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
