02. 27.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and the

State.

The petitioners are apprehending their arrest in a

case registered under Sections 302, 307 and 324/34 of

the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of Witch Craft

(Prohibition) Act.

Considering that the deceased was done to death

because the petitioners believed that she was a witch, I

am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the

petitioners. The prayer for bail is rejected.
