Summary: Shakuntala Devi v. State of Bihar (Crl.A. No. 111/2001) The Supreme Court granted leave and allowed Shakuntala Devi's appeal against the High Court's denial of pre-arrest bail. Devi, sister-in-law of deceased Anju Verma who died under suspicious circumstances, faced allegations under Section 304B IPC (dowry death) along with her husband and in-laws. The Court found no valid reason to deny pre-arrest bail and ordered her release on bail upon executing a bond with two solvent sureties, with the condition that she remain available for interrogation as required by investigating officers.
