IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.552 of 2010 SUBHASH CHANDRA JHA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 19/02/2010 Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted for the offence under Sections 304B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. There is an allegation against the petitioner of having done his wife to death but in the First Information Report, the Informant has stated that he received word about his daughter’s illness through Mithu Jha and Rahmat Ali. When these two witnesses were examined by the Investigating Officer, they stated that it is the petitioner who had sent word to the Informant about the unfortunate death of his wife. The submission is that had the petitioner really done his wife to death, he would not have given any information to the Informant. Moreover, the parents-in-law were arrested right after the institution of the First Information Report from the house itself showing their innocent conduct. Under the circumstances, let the petitioner above named, who is in custody since 20.7.2009, be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 5,000/- (Five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Additional Sessions Judge, F.T.C. III, Darbhanga, in connection with Sessions Trial No. 343 of 2009 arising out of Ghanshyampur P.S. Case No. 102 of 2009 subject to the following conditions: (i)That one of the bailors will be a close relative of the petitioner who will - 2 - give an affidavit giving genealogy as to how he is related with the petitioner. (ii)That the petitioner will be well represented on each date and if he fails to do so on two consecutive dates, his bail will be liable to be cancelled. S.Ali (Anjana Prakash, J.)
