IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA SLA No.80 of 2008 UPENDRA SINGH Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR & ORS ----------- 6. 15.4.2009 Heard the counsel for the petitioner and the counsel appearing on behalf of opposite parties. An F.I.R. was instituted by the petitioner Upendra Singh alleging that the opposite parties have instigated their daughter to commit suicide. It is also alleged that after the girl committed suicide and the opposite party kept the dead body of the deceased in a gunny bag and took it at the river Ganges and threw it in the river. After that the police investigated the case and submitted final form. A protest petition has been filed which is marked as Exhibit- B. On the basis of the protest petition the trial commenced. At this stage it is necessary to mention that the informant/complainant was stranger to the family and has no connection whatsoever with the opposite party. During the trial several witnesses were examined and all of them have supported the complaint case to the extent that they have said that the girl who was unmarried had a pregnancy of about four months and it is for this reason, opposite party had incited her to commit suicide and had disposed of her body by throwing it in the river. The witnesses have also stated that they saw the opposite party taking the gunny bag carrying the dead body towards the river. The opposite parties have produced Exhibit-A, Exhibit –B and Exhibit –C series which have been discussed by the trial Court in - 2 - detail which are documents to show that there are several criminal litigation with the complainant and the litigation between them began since 1992. The Court after considering the exhibits came to the conclusion that the witnesses have filed this case because of the enmity between the petitioner and the opposite parties. I may state here that the dead body was not recovered nor is there any evidence to show that deceased girl was having an affair with someone, which may be the cause of the said pregnancy. The Court after considering the evidence and the enmity between the parties came to the conclusion that the prosecution has failed to prove that the deceased girl Lila Kumari has committed suicide, that she was carrying four months pregnancy and that her body had been disposed of by the opposite parties. I do not find any illegality or perversity in the order passed by the Court below as such the S.L.A. is dismissed. P. Kumar (Sheema Ali Khan, J.)
