IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.24383 of 2011 Krishna Paswan Versus The State Of Bihar ----------- 04/ 25.10.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. Public Prosecutor for the State. Petitioner being father-in-law of the deceased is languishing in jail custody since 22.3.2009 in a case registered under sections 304B, 201/34 of the IPC. Admittedly, marriage of the deceased had taken place in the year 2002 and she died in the year 2008 i.e. after six years of the marriage. It would appear from the case diary that dead body of the deceased was recovered from a well and in post mortem examination several injuries were found on her person but the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is languishing in jail custody since long but up till now not a single prosecution witness has been examined. Learned counsel for the petitioner frankly accepted this fact that husband of the deceased is still evading his arrest but his submission is that the husband of the deceased is not under the control of the petitioner. Taking into consideration the aforesaid submissions as well as period of the detention of the petitioner in jail custody coupled with the present position of the trial of the petitioner, let the petitioner, Krishna Paswan, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction - 2 - of the Addl.
