IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.37885 of 2008 UTPAL YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 2.3.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that though the ligature mark found on the neck of the deceased but that has not been opined reason behind the death and the witnesses have deposed that she was not mentally so sound and the information was given by the in-laws. It is apparent from perusal of the record that the dead body is found in a well with having ligature mark around the neck. If there is any opinion regarding cause of death then there is ligature mark and that is not the stage to scrutinize but in no case its appearance that accidental falling of the deceased in the well. The demand of dowry is there followed by cruelty and torture. The petitioner is husband of the deceased. So I find that it is not a fit case for bail. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, the trial court (Additional Sessions Judge, Banka) is directed to expedite the trial of Bounsi P.S. case no. 27/08. (Mandhata Singh,J.) AI
