IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.24791 of 2008 MOHAN TANTI Versus SATTE OF BIHAR - - - - 4. 29.8.2008 Heard. The petitioner is the husband and is in custody in a case under Section 304(B) of the Indian Penal Code under the allegation that for not getting the demand for T.V. and cash of Rs. 25,000/- fulfilled he along with his family members ill-treated and tortured the lady and ultimately killed her by setting her on fire. The contention is that while the lady was cooking when nobody was in the house she caught fire and some attempts were made by the neighbours to douse the flames but the lady died. It is contended that the mother of the petitioner filed a U.D. case in respect of the occurrence and some of the witnesses during the investigation supported the contention. As against the above, learned Additional Public Prosecutor has drawn the attention of the Court to paragraphs 6,7, 16 and 17 of the case diary in which the 2 witnesses have stated that for not getting the dowry the petitioner had tortured the lady and killed her. The learned Sessions Judge while dismissing the prayer for bail has rightly disagreed with the defence and dismissed the prayer. The petition is dismissed as of no merit. Kanth ( Dharnidhar Jha, J.)
