This application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Complaint Case No. 173C of 2010, CIS No. 1419 of 2014, registered for the offences punishable under Section 304(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. As per the prosecution case, informant solemnized the marriage of his daughter with co-accused Ajay Singh in the year 2004. In the marriage, ornaments, Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.256 of 2026(4) dt.15-04-2026 2/3 cloths of about Rs. 2 lakhs were given. After some time of marriage, the husband and in-laws (petitioners) of informant’s daughter started demanding a motorcycle from her. Due to non-fulfillment of the same, she was tortured and ill treated. It is further alleged on 01.11.2009, informant received information on telephone that his daughter has been murdered. 4. Learned Counsel for the petitioners submit that petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in this case. The petitioner no. 1 is the elder brother-in-law, petitioner no. 2 is father-in-law and petitioner no. 3 is sister- in-law (gotni) of the informant. Police has submitted the final form and found allegation false and recommended prosecution against the informant, however, on the Protest petition, the complaint case was registered. Petitioners are having no criminal antecedent. Similarly situated co- accused person i.e., husband of the informant has already been granted anticipatory bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Hon’ble Court vide order dated 06.04.2026, passed in Cr. Misc. No. 91869 of 2025. 5. Having regard to the submissions made by the Patna High Court CR. MISC.
