Patna High Court – Orders
Rupa Devi @ Rukmini Devi vs The State Of Bihar on 1 March, 2011
                   IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
                                Cr.Misc. No.1804 of 2011
                             RUPA DEVI @ RUKMINI DEVI
                                           Versus
                                 THE STATE OF BIHAR

2   01.03.2011

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned

Addl. P.P. for the State.

Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Naokothi P.S.

case no.73/2010 registered under sections 341, 326, 307 498A/34 of

the IPC and 3/ 4 of the D.P.Act.

Admittedly, petitioner is mother-in-law of the victim and

furthermore, it is admitted position that marriage of the victim had

taken place five years ago. Although there is allegation against the

petitioner as well as other co-accused that they sprinkled kerosene oil

on the person of the victim and her husband lit the fire on her body but

considering this aspect of the matter that allegation of pouring

kerosene oil is vague and general, I think it proper to release her on

bail.

Accordingly, petitioner, Rupa Devi @ Rukmini Devi is

directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/-

(ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the

satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Begusarai in Nakothi P.S.

Case no. 73/2010.

        Shahid                               (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
