Mr.Ashok Kumar Singh ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SUNIL KUMAR PANWAR ORAL ORDER 30-11-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State.

The petitioners have prayed for bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under sections 304(B) and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per allegation in the FIR, petitioners along with other family members have tortured in various ways to the sister of the informant due to non-fulfillment of additional dowry demand and ultimately she was being killed by them and with a view to wipe off the evidence, her dead body was cremated without serving the information to the family members of the deceased.

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.75945 of 2023(2) dt.30-11-2023 2/3 Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has submitted that petitioners are parents-in-law of the deceased and have been falsely implicated in this case. They have never demanded any thing from the deceased or her family members. Prior to the alleged incident, there is no complain in respect of torture or harassment by any one to the deceased at her matrimonial home. Petitioners have no concern with mess and business of the deceased and her husband and they are living separately. The sole responsibility to take care of wife is upon husband and not against his family members. Husband is in custody. Petitioners are languishing in judicial custody for more than six months.

The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction
