                   learned APP for the State.

                                2. This is the 2nd attempt of the petitioner for regular

                   bail in connection with Shakurabad P.S. Case No. 12 of 2025

                   registered for the offence under Sections 103(1), 238 and 3(5) of

                   the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. Earlier the bail application

                   of the petitioner was rejected by this Court on 12.05.2025 in Cr.

                   Misc. No. 20116 of 2025.

                                3. As per the prosecution case, the petitioner, along

                   with other co-accused persons, allegedly poisoned the deceased

                   due to non-fulfillment of a dowry demand.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence. The

                   petitioner is in custody since 20.01.2025. It is further submitted
            Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.30310 of 2026(2) dt.08-05-2026
                                                        2/2




                      that the allegation against the petitioner is general and omnibus,

                      and the petitioner is the mother-in-law of the deceased. In the

                      trial, out of six witnesses, two witnesses have been examined.

                                   5. Learned A.P.P. has vehemently opposed the prayer

                      for bail.

                                   6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances,

                      the period of custody and the delay in trial as well as the fact

                      that the petitioner is a woman, this application for regular bail is

                      allowed.

                                   7. Accordingly, let the petitioner, above named, 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 learned Court below where the case is

                      pending/successor Court in connection with Shakurabad P.S.

                      Case No. 12 of 2025.

                                   8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is

                      prima facie in nature and is confined solely to the adjudication

                      of the present bail application. Such observations shall not be

                      construed as an expression on the merits of the case and shall

                      not influence the trial or any other proceedings in any manner.



                                                              (Sandeep Kumar, J)
