The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 80, 238 of the B.N.S. 3. The prosecution case as disclosed in the FIR is that the daughter of the informant was done to death by all the accused persons including the present petitioners, who are married nanad and gotani of the deceased, respectively, on account of non-fulfillment of dowry. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that it would be apparent from the FIR that there is a general and Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35120 of 2025(3) dt.24-07-2025 2/3 omnibus allegation against all the accused persons, however, in the later part of the FIR, it has been stated that it was the co- accused Rahul Jha, the husband of the deceased, who had forcibly brought the deceased to his house on 09.11.2024 and after making a plan, he left the village and the deceased was done to death on 12.11.2024. It is further submitted that in such view of the matter, the husband is said to be the main conspirator for making the plan and getting it executed. It is also submitted that the husband of the deceased, who is primarily responsible for the welfare of his wife, is in custody along with the father-in-law and mother-in-law of the deceased and this fact has been specifically stated in paragraph 13 of the present application. 5. Learned APP for the State, however, opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 6. Taking into consideration the fact that both the petitioners are ladies, one of them, being a married sister-in-law, is staying separately and also considering that the husband of the deceased along with his parents is already in custody, I am inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners having clean antecedent. Let the petitioners, above named, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.35120 of 2025(3) dt.24-07-2025 3/3 below within four weeks, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned lower Court where the case is pending/successor Court in connection with Ghanshyampur P.S.
