                   A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. The petitioner apprehends her arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Sections 140(3),

                   103, 238, 61(2) of the BNS, 2023.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and is a woman

                   aged about 20 years and the informant alleges that his brother

                   on 27.11.2025 left his house at 7.45 A.M. and did not return

                   home till 01.12.2025 and his mobile is also switched off.

                                5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                                            2/4




          from perusal of the FIR, it would manifest that FIR has been

          instituted against unknown accused. It is next submitted that

          during course of investigation, it transpired that petitioner was

          in a relationship with the deceased. It is next submitted that

          petitioner was married to one Nitish but then in the

          investigation, it transpired that petitioner was having an extra

          marital relation. It is further submitted that on 27.11.2025 at

          11.52 A.M. the victim called the petitioner, further the dead

          body of the brother of the informant was recovered on

          04.12.2025 with mark of injury. It is submitted that since

          petitioner was having an affair with the deceased, as such she

          came to be implicated in the instant case. It is further submitted

          that during the course of investigation, no material transpired

          connecting the petitioner with the offence except that petitioner

          and the informant were in a relationship and used to talk. It is

          further submitted that the police suspected that brothers of the

          petitioner along with her husband might have been involved in

          the occurrence of killing of the deceased. It is next submitted

          that one of the brothers of the petitioner, namely, Prince has

          been apprehended and sent to judicial custody. It is also

          submitted that if privilege of anticipatory bail is granted, the

          petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate in the

                                            3/4




          investigation to prove her innocence.

                       6. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioner but then is not in a position to

          rebut the submission of the learned counsel appearing on behalf

          of the petitioner that during the course of investigation, no

          material transpired connecting the petitioner with the offence of

          murder of the deceased except that petitioner and the deceased

          were in a relationship. Learned APP fairly submits that during

          the course of investigation no material till date has come

          connecting the petitioner with the offence except her

          relationship with the deceased.

                       7. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties and

          taking into consideration the submissions made by the learned

          counsel for the petitioner and also taking into consideration the

          fact that petitioner is a woman, the petitioner above-named, in

          the event of her arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks

          from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail

          bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties

          of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial

          court where the case is pending/successor court in connection

          with Ballia P.S. Case No.530 of 2025, subject to the conditions

          as laid down under Section 482(2) B.N.S.S.
             Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.37906 of 2026(3) dt.02-07-2026
                                                         4/4




                                    8. However, it is made clear that in the event if the

                       Investigating Officer of the case files an application before the

                       learned trial court bringing to its notice that the petitioner

                       despite giving assurance to this court is not co-operating in the

                       investigation in that event the learned trial court shall be at

                       liberty to cancel the bail bonds of the petitioner.

                                    9. The personal appearance of the I.O. of the case is

                       dispensed with.
