IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.30992 of 2009 JAG MOHAN RAI Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 09.09.2009 Heard both sides. Petitioner, who is husband, seeks bail in a case instituted under Sections 304B read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. As per F.I.R., the deceased was done to death within 05 years of her marriage in the matrimonial home. There appears to be an allegation of demand of dowry and on non- fulfillment thereof torture including physical assault. Post-mortem report indicates Asphyxia. Petitioner is in custody since 27.4.2009. Referring to Annexure-3, it is contended that the father of the victim (informant) has filed application in the court below stating therein that due to mis-information he lodged a case. Be that as it may, having regard to the allegation and the martial collected in support thereof, as reflected from the impugned order, this Court for the present is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail. Prayer for bail is accordingly, rejected. 2 Considering the submission that the informant has already approached the Court with certain applications absolving the petitioner of the allegation, this Court grants liberty to the petitioner to renew prayer for bail after seven months, if in the meanwhile the trial of the case is not taken up.
