Summary: The Sessions Judge, Purnea granted anticipatory bail to Sumitra Devi, a senior citizen and mother-in-law of the deceased in a dowry death case (Sadar P.S. Case No. 574 of 2025). The court found that while the FIR alleged her involvement in the murder of her daughter-in-law Neha Kumari on 16.11.2025, witness statements recorded during investigation contradicted the allegations, there was no specific overt act against her, and co-accused persons had already been granted similar bail. She was ordered released on Rs. 10,000 bail bonds with two sureties of equal amount each, subject to conditions under Section 482 BNSS. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
