IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.19069 of 2010 DHUPENDRA PASWAN @ DHUPENDRA KUMAR Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3. 08.07.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The petitioner is languishing in jail since 19.11.2009 in a case registered under Section 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. It is alleged that the petitioner was involved in illegal activities of arms which was opposed by the victim as a result of which the victim was strangulated. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that in fact, the victim committed suicide and the similarly situated accused namely, Phulchand Paswan has been granted bail in Cr. Misc. No. 5615 of 2010. Learned counsel for the informant and State however, submit that the victim was being tortured by the petitioner and it was due to the petitioner illegal activities, the victim lost her life. Considering the nature of allegation, and petitioner being the husband who has the duty to protect the wife, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at present. The application is rejected. Anand Kr. ( Dinesh Kumar Singh, J.)
