IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.32700 of 2009 JAI PRAKASH MANDAL, son of Chandar Mandal, of village Oriup, P.S. Antichak (Kahalgaon), District Bhagalpur Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 17.9.2009 Heard counsel for the petitioner and the counsel for the State. A finger of suspicion has been raised against the petitioner, the father, whose daughter is said to have committed suicide on account of opposition of the father to some affair going on with the deceased and her boy friend. The fact that the victim girl the daughter was studying in Class X and the father petitioner had at least reasons to guide her as per his own belief in moral values even if the same had led to some sort of frustration to the victim girl who had committed suicide, would not make the father petitioner criminally liable for such suicide. Considering the fact that there are also statements in the case diary to show that the girl was thereafter taken to the hospital for treatment by the father i.e. the petitioner, where she is said to have 2 succumbed to the injuries, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. That being so, the petitioner, Jai Prakash Mandal, is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bhagalpur in Kahalgaon (Anti Chak) P.S.Case No. 270/2008. (Mihir Kumar Jha,J.) Surendra/
