Chauram P.S. Case No. 13 of 2004 disclosing offences under Sections 304(B) and 201 of the Indian Penal Code.

¶21

Petitioner no. 1 happens to be brother in law of the deceased, petitioner no. 2 is the co-villager and petitioner no. 3 is mother in law of the deceased and allegation against them is of causing dowry death of the deceased. It appears that the case is of the year 2004.

¶22

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that no specific allegation has been attributed to them and earlier the police after investigation has submitted final form, however, vide order dated 14.09.2010 cognizance has been taken against the petitioners but no summon or warrant of arrest have been issued against the petitioners and they had no knowledge about the same.

¶23

Heard learned A.P.P. also.

¶24

Having heard both sides, considering the fact that cognizance has been taken in the year 2010 but the petitioners have come before this Court for grant of bail after lapse of nine years, as such, I am not inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioners rather petitioners may move the court below and make prayer for regular bail and if any such application is filed, the court below will dispose of the same on
