IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.4617 of 2011 RAJU DAS, SON OF LATE RAM SUNDAR DAS RESIDENT OF VILLAGE- RAMPUR KESHOPATTI P.S.- MUFFASIL DISTT- SAMASTIPUR. …PETITIONER. Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR. ….OPPOSITE PARTY ----------- 2. 23.02.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. The petitioner is in custody in relation to Samastipur (M) P.S. No. 410 of 2010 instituted under Section 304 (B) of the Indian Penal Code. The informant is the mother of the deceased girl and she alleges that only few years back the girl was married and due to non-fulfillment of dowry, she was strangulated to death. The police recovered the dead body and sent for post-mortem examination, the post mortem report confirms the allegation of strangulation. Learned counsel for the petitioner states that in course of investigation, all the villagers have consistently spoken that the lady, in fact, had committed suicide by hanging herself. The family members, who were working in the field, were informed by the outsider. It is also pointed out that later on coming to know two stories, the informant has compromised the matter and withdrew the allegation. In my view this is a matter to be enquired by the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Samstipur where the case is pending and charge-sheet having been submitted, it would notice 2 the informant and verify the fact of the compromise and if he satisfied that the alleged compromise is bona fide and genuine, he would release the petitioner Raju Das on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000 ( ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Samastipur in connection with Samastipur (M) P.S. Case No. 410 of 2010. Devendra/ ( Navaniti Prasad Singh, J.)
