IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24350 of 2008 UMESH JHA Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- Advocate for the Petitioner : Mr. Uma Kant Shukla, Advocate Advocate for the State : Mr. J. S. Pd. Singh, A.P.P 3 18.08.2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The Case has been registered under Section 304(B) and 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Allegation against the petitioner is that he along with other two persons demanded dowry and on refusal has killed the deceased. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deceased died due to ailment which is apparent from Annexure – 2 which is prescription of on one Dr. A. K. Prasad. It is stated that from the aforesaid prescription it appears that the deceased was referred to PMCH but unfortunately she died before reaching the hospital. Further submission is that the parents of the deceased were duly informed by him regarding the death. Even then they have falsely implicated the petitioner and others. Learned counsel for the State submits that petitioner is husband of the deceased and there is allegation of demand of dowry and subsequent killing against the accused persons. Nothing has come regarding the illness of the deceased except the prescription which appears to be fake one. Several persons after killing the deceased have disposed off her dead body. In the facts and circumstances of the case and in view of the - 2 - submissions made above I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail for the present. Prayer of the bail is refused at this stage. Kundan (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
