IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Criminal Miscellaneous No.18313 of 2011 Bahadur Prasad @ Lalan Prasad Versus The State Of Bihar ---------------------------------- 4 22.9.2011 Heard learned counsel for the parties. Petitioner is husband of the deceased who is died of burn injury. Allegation is that for non-fulfilment of demand of dowry this petitioner with the help of other family members set his wife on fire after tying her leg and hand after killing by throttling. Throttling is not verified. There is no eye witness of the incident either to state the incident a suicidal death or homicidal and plea of alibi is taken on behalf of petitioner that he had gone elsewhere and was informed about the incident by his villager. Death is shown 36-48 hours further goes to show that killing was earlier, its coming to knowledge of the informant later and in such circumstance, absence of petitioner from his house adds something more in the circumstance towards his involvement. Circumstance appearing in the case does not justify bail to this petitioner. Taking the facts into consideration, the prayer for bail is rejected. AI ( Mandhata Singh, J.)
