Petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Tekari P.S.Case No.25/2009 dated 30.01.2009 registered under Section 304 (B), 201/34 of the I.P.C. According to the prosecution case, Kavita Devi, wife of the petitioner was burnt to death due to non- fulfillment of the demand of dowry of Rs.1 lakh. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that though the petitioner happens to be husband of the deceased, but petitioner is physically incapable to participate in such a crime. In support of physical incapability, he has annexed a document vide Annexure-4. Learned counsels for the informant and State have strongly opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail. Be that as it may and in view of seriousness of 2 allegation, his prayer for anticipatory bail is dismissed. He must surrender in the court below within a period of four weeks from today and if so advised, may seek regular bail. If such a prayer is made, then the court below may dispose of the same on its own merit without being prejudiced by the present order. V.K. Pandey (Birendra Prasad Verma, J.)
