IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.40228 of 2010 SUNIL GIRI Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 19.01.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned counsel for the state. Petitioner seeks his bail in connection with Malsalami P.S. Case No. 210 of 2009 registered under sections-498A, 304B, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. Petitioner is husband of the deceased who died within 7 years of her marriage in mysterious circumstance. There is allegation of demand of dowry as well as torturing against the petitioner. Although Learned counsel for the petitioner tried to convince me by placing the statements of some witnesses who have stated before the I.O. that deceased committed suicide but I am not at all convinced with the aforesaid submission because it is settled principle of law that if all the ingredients of section-304B are fulfilled, then it would be presumed that the deceased was murdered on account of non-fulfillment of dowry demand. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner, Sunil Giri stands rejected. The observation made in this order would not affect the merit of the case. The learned trial judge is directed to expedite the trial of the petitioner. AKV/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava,J.)
