IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.23645 of 2008 RAMSURUP YADAV Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 12.8.2008 Heard. The allegation against the petitioner who is the father-in-law of the deceased is also of the same nature that he along with other accused persons illtreated, tortured and assaulted the lady so much so, that she died on that account. The further allegation is that in such precarious conditions she was shifted immediately to the hospital and the lady was put on a rickshaw and abandoned near the house of her father who admitted her immediately into a hospital. The rejection order indicates that the cause of death was malnutrition and the deceased was deprived of food and sufficient calories of energy. It is contended by drawing the attention of the court to paragraph 18 of the case diary that the mother of the lady made her statement in that particular paragraph and she held the husband of the lady as the only responsible person. The FIR is the statement of the lady herself and that relates to the cause of her death as also to the circumstances of the transaction which resulted in her death and the present petitioner could not be held less liable than any other accused, considering which, the petition is dismissed.
