.... .... Petitioner

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Shivendra Prasad For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Md. Anzarul Haque Sahara ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 20-11-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner.

This is an application for bail in connection with Mahila P.S.Case No. 14 of 2014 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 304B and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is mother-in-law of deceased and the case is dowry death.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is mother-in-law and no specific offence is alleged against her and husband of deceased has been granted anticipatory bail by this Court and she is in custody since 9.10.2017. Heard learned APP also.

Having heard both sides and considering the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.55814 of 2017 (2) dt.20-11-2017 2/2 husband of the deceased has been granted bail on the ground that he was not present at the time of occurrence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

However, learned court below is directed to commit the case to court of sessions and once informant has been examined in this case the petitioner will be at liberty to renew her prayer for bail, which will be considered by learned trial court on the basis of materials available on record at that time.

With the above observation, this application is dismissed. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) spal/- U
