2. The petitioners have prayed for bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 304(B)/34 of the IPC.
3. The case of the prosecution is that the daughter of the informant was married six years ago with Sanno Tanti. After marriage she went to her matrimonial house. It is further alleged that after some time, her in-laws started subjecting her to cruelty on account of demand of motorcycle, LED TV and Rupees Fifty Thousand cash. It is further alleged that on account of nonfulfillment of above demand, she was killed.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has submitted that the petitioners are father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased. They have specifically stated in their petition that they were living separate from the deceased. It has also been submitted that Sanno Tanti lived outside village for livelihood and there was dispute between Sanno Tanti and the deceased, Fulo Devi. From perusal of the post mortem report it is clear that no external injury was found by the Doctor on the person of the deceased and opinion regarding cause of death was reserved till the report of viscera.
5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State.
6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, at this stage it seems a case of poisoning, it does not seem natural that the old age in-laws will compel their daughter-in-law to consume poison, therefore, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. The above named petitioners are directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) each of them with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate-1st Class, Bhagalpur in connection with Goradih P.S. Case No. 26
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.76267 of 2024(3) dt.22-01-2025 3/3 of 2024.
7. Accordingly, the present bail application stands allowed.
