Petitioner is apprehending her arrest in connection with Mehsi P.S. Case No.112 of 2024, registered for the offence punishable u/s 80 and 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. 3.
Allegedly, all the FIR named accused persons including the petitioner have killed the daughter of the informant due to non-fulfilment of demand of dowry.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has not committed any offence. She has been falsely implicated in this case. Petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased. It is fairly submitted that
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.81073 of 2024(2) dt.10-12-2024 2/2 marriage of informant's daughter was solemnized with coaccused Md. Danish on 15.12.2023 and the informant's daughter died on 18.07.2024 i.e within seven months of marriage. The fact is that the deceased was very high tempered person and used to quarrel over small things due to which she has committed suicide. Petitioner lives with her husband in Delhi and deceased was living in village with her husband and they are separate in mess and business. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent.
5.
Learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the informant opposed the prayer for bail.
6.
Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and the fact that deceased died within seven months of marriage, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on her behalf is hereby rejected. 7.
This application is accordingly dismissed.
