IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.22021 of 2011 Manoranjan Thakur @ Ranjan Thakur Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 03. 14.09.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned counsel for the State. Torture for demand of dowry soon before the death in matrimonial home and unnatural death is the allegation. Involvement of petitioner is doubted on the ground that deceased disappeared from the matrimonial home on 16.10.2010, was informed to relations and even the informant. Suspicion is cast on the points that remaining a dead body was informed to informant’s family members by witnesses examined in Paragraphs-6 and 7 of the case diary, but coming of informant or his family members to petitioner’s village on 25.10.2010, recovery of dead body on 29.10.2010, post mortem on 30.10.2010 opining death in between five to eight days. More specifically, it is submitted that killing can be connected by disappearance that is 16.10.2010 much beyond even eight days with that I do not agree. There is difference between disappearance and killing, someone may disappear on some day, may be killed later. There can be no hundred per cent (100%) accuracy in medical opinion, there is every chance of variation which in the instant case, is of some days, presence of dead body is shown on 20.10.2010 and post 2 mortem examination is conducted on 30.10.2010. Informant’s sister is alive and seen is not the case. Post mortem is conducted of a female deceased having injuries cause of death also, who is identified by her clothes and bangle. Petitioner is husband. The circumstance under which killing revealed, there is every chance of delay in lodging the F. I. R., case may not be disbelieved on the point of delay. Accordingly, petitioner’s prayer for regular bail stands rejected. Vikash (Mandhata Singh, J.)
