IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.11644 of 2009 MANOJ SINGH Versus STATE OF SINGH ----------- For the petitioner : Mr. Bhola Prasad, Advocate For the State : Mr. R.B.Roy Raman, A.P.P. 3 22.5.2009 Petitioner Manoj Singh is the brother of Sanoj Singh, the husband of Rita Devi who was the daughter of the complainant Ram Suraj Singh. He is in custody in connection with Complaint Case No. 410 of 2003 having been named therein by the complainant as one of the accused. The allegation against the petitioner is that Rita Devi having been taken to Panipat where the two brothers Sanoj and petitioner were living together, she became traceless and she still not being recovered. There is an allegation of the accused persons having demanded a dowry of Rs. 23,000/- and due to non fulfillment of the demand she was taken to Panipat. True it is that the parents of the petitioner were also imleaded as accused have been granted anticipatory bail due to their old age. It also appears that they were not residing with the petitioner and brother Sanoj at Panipat. In that view of the matter the case of the petitioner is not similarly situate as that of his parents. In the facts and circumstances of the case I do not find it to be an appropriate case where the petitioner should be enlarged on bail. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected.
