Petitioners have been made an accused in connection with S.T. Case No. 341/2024, arising out of Hunterganj P.S. Case No. 113 of 2024, Corresponding to G.R. Case No. 1135 of 2024, registered under Sections 302/201/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the Court of Sri Satya Pal, learned Additional Sessions Judge II, Chatra. Petitioner no. 1, Reena Devi is sister-in-law and Petitioner No. 2 Shanti Devi is mother-in-law of the deceased Kavita Devi who died due to asphyxia because of drowning. Case diary earlier called for has been received. It appears that several witnesses have stated that both the petitioners used to assault the deceased to enforce the demand of dowry due to which she jumped in the well and died. Regard being had to the facts and circumstance of the case and considering the nature of allegation; I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, their prayer for bail is hereby rejected at this stage. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Saurabh uploaded
