2025:JHHC:16346 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI A.B.A. No. 7164 of 2024 1. Basanti Devi, wife of Vinod Pal, resident of village Chataniya P.O. Lamari Kalan, P.S. Kandi, District Garhwa, Jharkhand. 2. Binod Pal @ Vinod Pal, son of Raguni Pal, resident of village Chataniya P.O. Lamari Kalan, P.S. Kandi, District Garhwa, Jharkhand. ..... Petitioner(s). Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opp. Party(s). ------ CORAM : SRI ANANDA SEN, J. ------ For the Petitioner(s) : M/s Atanu Banerjee and Ram Kinkar, Advocates. For the State : Mr. Sudhir Kr. Mahto, A.P.P. For the Informant Mr. Priyanka Body, Advocate. …..... 7/20.06.2025: This anticipatory bail application under Section(s) 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioners apprehending their arrest for offences registered under Section(s) 80(2) and 3(5) of the BNS- 2023 in connection with Kandi P.S. Case No. 77/2024, pending in the Court of learned J.M. 1st Class, Garhwa. Heard the parties at length and had gone through the documents, annexed along with this application. Opportunity was given to the State as well as informant to oppose the bail, which they availed and opposed. The petitioners are the mother-in-law and father-in-law of the deceased. Within four months of the married, the daughter of the informant died in the house of in-laws and the death is unnatural. There is demand of dowry and torture. Considering the fact that there was demand of dowry and torture and the fact that the deceased died within four months of the marriage, I am not inclined to allow this anticipatory bail application. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners, above named, is rejected. Anu/-C.P.-3 (ANANDA SEN, J.)
