For the Petitioners :

Mr.Shree Niwas Singh, Advocate For the Opposite Party :

Mr.Ram Sevak Choudhary, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHWANI KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 15-06-2020 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State via video conferencing.

The petitioners seek pre-arrest bail in connection with Birpur P. S. Case No.131 of 2018 registered under Sections 304B/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Regard being had to the gravity of the offence and the allegation that the petitioners and others killed married daughter of the informant for non-fulfillment of demand of dowry and submerged her body in the river Ganga in order to conceal the evidence, I am not inclined to grant them pre-arrest bail. The

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.74903 of 2019(3) dt.15-06-2020 2/2 application for grant of pre-arrest bail is rejected. (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J) kanchan/- U T
