Versus STATE OF BIHAR …………………………………………..Opposite Party. WITH Cr.Misc. No.9309 of 2009 BALIRAM PRASAD S/O-Late Banka Lal Sah, R/O-Vill-Bijbani, P.S.-Jitna, Distt.-East Champaran. ………………………………………….Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR …………………………………………..Opposite Party. ----------- 3/ 29.04.2009 Since both the above bail applications have arisen out of one occurrence i.e. Ghorasahan P.S. Case No.- 130 of 2008 registered under Sections 328, 304(B), 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code, they have been heard together and are being disposed of by this common order. The informant’s daughter Sunita Devi was married three years earlier with the petitioner Braj Kishore Prasad @ Mintu. At the time of marriage sufficient dowry articles were given but the informant’s daughter was being subjected to torture in connection with dowry related demands. Later on she was killed on 2 account of her inability to bring the desired dowry articles. Submission is that the death was on account of snake biting. This argument has been supported through Annexure-2 which is death certificate granted by Dr. Rahman’s Nursing Home, Motihari. It has also been submitted that later on witnesses have stated that due to some demand there were differences. The petitioner Braj Kishore Prasad @ Mintu is the husband of the deceased. His role cannot be equated with others so far as the allegation under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code is concerned. Considering this, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected. So far as another petitioner namely Baliram Prasad is concerned, he is father-in- law of the deceased and is directed to be released from custody on bail on furnishing 3 bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the S.D.J.M., Sikraharana / concerned court at Motihari, East Champaran in connection with Ghorasahan P.S. Case No.- 130 of 2008. kksinha/ (Shyam Kishore Sharma, J.)
