Heard the parties at length and had gone through the documents, annexed along with this application. 3. Opportunity was given to the State to oppose the bail, which the State availed and opposed. 4 The petitioner is the sister in-law of the deceased.

He further submits that it has also come in the impugned order that the properties were partitioned, thus the petitioner having no concern with the family of the deceased. 6. From perusal of the record, I find that the trial court has noted the statement of the witnesses recorded in the case diary, it has come that this petitioner was not having any concern with the family of the deceased and her husband. Further from the application itself, I find that the address of this petitioner is of Tilaiya, Koderma whereas, the occurrence had taken place at Chatra, which also fortifies the fact that the petitioner was not residing with the deceased. 7.

Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to surrender before the court below within four weeks from today and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the court below is directed to enlarge her on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Judicial Magistrate, 1st Class, Chatra, in connection with Pathalgadda P.S.
