IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.34133 of 2010 SANTOSH KUMAR GUPTA @ Santosh Gupta, Son of Late Muni Lal Sah, resident of Village-Mathmalpur, P.S. Barhara, District- Bhojpur ------------------- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 03 14-02-2011 Heard Sri Madanjeet Kumar, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Kumar Ranjit Ranjan, learned Addl.Public Prosecutor. The petitioner, who is in custody since 18.3.2010 in Barhara P.S. Case No.72 of 2010 for the offences under Sections 304(B), 201 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail. The petitioner is the husband of the deceased daughter of the informant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that in this case elder brother of the petitioner and his mother have already been granted bail. It was also submitted that the deceased died due to abdominal pain while she was being carrying to hospital and thereafter cremation was done. In the F.I.R. itself there is specific accusation against the petitioner as he has firstly taken the plea that the daughter of the informant had fled away with ornaments. However after enquiry it was found that she was done to death. The case of the petitioner is not similar to the cases of other accused, who were granted bail. Keeping in view the nature of accusation, the Court is not inclined to grant the privilege of bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. Since the petitioner is in custody since long, it is expected 2 that the trial court will take all steps so that the case may come to its logical end without any delay. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
