IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.36404 of 2011 Manoj Beldar, Son of Late Nandu Beldar, resident of Villag-Jagdishpur, P.S.-Mofassil, District-Gaya. ………..Petitioner. Versus The State of Bihar ………Opp. Party. ----------- 2 04.11.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with a case registered for the offence under Sections 304 (B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that the daughter of the informant was married to the petitioner in the year 2007. She was being subjected to cruelty for non-fulfillment of demand of dowry and on 2.1.2010 she was strangulated to death by tying a rope around her neck. The post mortem report corroborates the allegation made in the F.I.R. The petitioner is the husband of the victim Babita Devi. Considering the serious nature of allegation, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, the court below is directed to take immediate steps for commitment of the case to the court of sessions so that the trial may be expedited. Sanjeet/ (Ashwani Kumar Singh, J.)
