IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34701 of 2008 LAKSHMAN MISTRI, S/O BIHARI MISTRI, R/O VILLAGE- NAI POKHAR, P.S.-RAJGIR, DISTRICT- NALANDA Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 24/10/2008 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel representing the State. The petitioner is the husband of the informant’s daughter who was married in the year 2005 and within very short period she was killed by her in laws. Allegation is that she was subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demand. Submission is that the petitioner was not present at the time of occurrence in the village. He was at Delhi. Other accused persons have been admitted to bail. Soon after the marriage the allegation of torture has been made by the informant and the petitioner being the husband is accountable for the death of the informant’s daughter which is otherwise in normal circumstances. Considering the above facts, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner above named is rejected. avin (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
