Versus STATE OF BIHAR ------------- 3. 7.4.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. Marriage is of the year 2008. Death occurred by burn injuries in matrimonial house in the year 2009. Torture for demand of dowry soon before the death is alleged and corroborated by informant and his family members and every attempt is being made at petitioner’s end that this lady, mother-in-law of the deceased was not present in the matrimonial house on the stake that she had gone for bath in the river Ganges. Further attempt is made or evidence has come that it could be a case of suicide but that never shifted liability. In case of suicide there is presumption regarding abetment and for dowry death the presumption regarding having hand in killing. Accordingly, prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is rejected. Sudip ( Mandhata Singh, J. )
