IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Appeal (DB) No.972 of 2011 ====================================================== Ram Bilas Singh .... .... Appellant/s Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors. .... .... Respondent/s ====================================================== 3 18-10-2011 The present appeal has been filed against the judgment passed in a trial in which charge were framed under Section 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code, whereby the family members of the husband were acquitted. Though, the husband, who has been convicted, has also been made party respondent perhaps on the ground of inadequacy of his sentence. It appears from the trial court judgment that P.Ws. 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 have specifically alleged that it was the husband who used to demand motorcycle and for non-fulfillment of the same the offence has been committed by the husband. These witnesses have not specifically levelled the accusation of torture or demand of dowry against rest of the family members. The I.O., who actually investigated the case, has not been examined. This was also in dispute whether the victim herself put her on fire or she was being burnt by the husband. The nature of evidence and its consideration by the trial court do not require any inference either with regard to the acquittal of other family members or with regard to the inadequacy of sentence of the husband. Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. Amrendra Kumar/- (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J) (Dinesh Kumar Singh, J)
