Patna High Court CR. APP (SJ) No.1753 of 2018 dt.02-08-2018 P2/ Singh and married with her. Both were residing at different place as the marriage was not liked by the society people as well as family members of the girl. The appellants and others were pressurizing for returning girl to her paternal family and in that wake murder of Subodh Paswan was committed. Suspicion is against the appellants. One of the witnesses Shankar Paswan has stated before the police that in his presence the daughter-in-law of appellant No.1 by calling on mobile enquired from appellant No.1, the reason for abduction of her husband and informed that she would return back in the event of his release.

After hearing the parties and finding strong suspicious material against the appellants, I am not inclined to enlarge the appellants on anticipatory bail.

Accordingly, the appeal stands dismissed.
