Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.74881 of 2025(5) dt.25-03-2026 2/2

6. I have considered the submissions of the parties and have gone through the records of the case. From the FIR it appears that the deceased was taken to the hospital and her family members were informed. During the investigation, some witnesses have said that the deceased was ill from before and was being treated at different points of time. The allegation against the petitioner and others is of pressing the neck of the deceased and killing her but the post-mortem report doesn't support the prosecution case. Nothing has come against the petitioner in the FSL Report also.

7. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this application for regular bail is allowed.

8. Accordingly, let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) 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 Mirganj P.S. Case No. 333 of 2025.
