Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ……….. Opp. Party For the petitioner : Mr. Jay Prakash Sharma, Advocate For the State : Mr. Ram Priya Sharan Singh, A.P.P. ------- 4 29.10.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned A.P.P. for the State. The petitioner is an accused in a case registered under Sections 304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the police has submitted charge sheet under Sections 306 and 498A of the Indian Penal Code. It is also stated that the petitioner has also received burn injury while trying to save his wife. It is also submitted that the other co-accused persons have been granted anticipatory bail by this Court. Learned counsel for the State submitted that it has come during the course of investigation that petitioner along with other in-laws used to torture the deceased. However having regards to the facts and circumstances of the case and the fact that there is - 2 - allegation against this petitioner of torturing the deceased and also that though the learned counsel has informed that chargesheet has been submitted under Section 306 I.P.C. but he was not in a position to say as to whether the concerned Court has passed any order with regard to taking cognizance, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner for the present. This application is dismissed at this stage. SPd/- (Dr. Ravi Ranjan, J.)
