IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.16047 of 2010 DHARMENDRA PATHAK Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03. 02.07.2010 The petitioner being the husband is languishing in jail in connection with a case registered under Section304(B) I.P.C. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the victim admittedly died due to burn injury but the death was accidental and the bona fide of the petitioner’s side is apparent from the fact that the victim was taken to the hospital immediately where she succumbed to injury. Moreover the witnesses have also supported the fact that the victim died due to the accidental fire and there was no demand of dowry or allegation of torture against the petitioner. Learned counsel for the State submits that the independent witnesses have supported the defence version. There is no doubt that the death was caused due to the accidental fire and there was no allegation of demand of dowry or torture. Learned counsel for the informant, however submits that there was demand of motorcycle and the victim was burnt to death. Considering the submissions of the respective 2 parties and in view of the fact that the petitioner is the husband, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected at present. Shageer ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
